Re: Delete with an exception join

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If all 3 fields are character and you don't have to worry about 
performance, concatenate them

delete from tab1 where fld1 concat fld2 concat fld3 not in (select fld1 
concat fld2 concat fld3 from tab2)

I don't see the need for the exception join in the nested table expression
