Delete with Left Join in Oracle 10g

Question

I have the following code that works fine in MS SQL Server:

delete grp
from grp
left join my_data
on grp.id1 = my_data.id1
and grp.id2 = my_data.id2
and grp.         


        

Answer 1

If you want to ensure there is no ambiguity in what's being deleted, you could change Vincent's solution to:

delete from grp where rowid in
    (
    select
         grp.rowid
    from
         grp left outer join my_data on
            grp.id1 = my_data.id1
        and grp.id2 = my_data.id2
        and grp.id3 = my_data.id3
        and grp.id4 = my_data.id4
    where
        my_data.id1 is NULL
    )
