Merge

edit

Recommend merging UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, MERGE and SELECT statements into DML article and redirecting these statements there. Comments? SqlPac 05:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

These articles appear to be specific to SQL, not DML generally. 64.236.208.25 14:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

POLICY DEBATE: Use of source code and other examples in articles

edit

Someone started a policy debate concerning the use of source code in articles, that seems to directly impact this (and possibly other Database articles). See below for details:

I have opened a debate on the use of source code and other examples in Wikipedia articles. It seems that many pieces of example source code etc. currently in Wikipedia violate Wikipedia policy, so we need to either clarify or change the situation. Depending on the result of the discussion, this may result in a number of source code examples being summarily removed from computing articles!

Please reply there, not here, if you wish to contribute.—greenrd 10:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Multiple-table syntax

edit

Should Multiple-table syntax be included or it is not SQL standard? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/delete.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.235.227.10 (talk) 16:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

It seems to be a standard by adoption at least, I was disappointed not to find an example like:

delete [alias]

 from [table] [alias]
   inner join [table] [alias] on [table].[field] = [table].[field]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.51.190.48 (talk) 12:37, 11 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
