I need to delete records from one table base on criteria from another table.  The example below from the Northwind database shows exactly what I want to do.  I want to delete  the records from the employee table who  a terrorityID of 30346 in the EmployeeTerritories table.
Can someone tell me how to write a delete statement that will delete the rows returned from the following SQL Statement?  The sql statement will return one employee name.  I would lke to delete that one employee from the employee table and I havent been able to figure out how to do it.
////////// Sql Statment
SELECT     dbo.EmployeeTerritories.EmployeeID, dbo.EmployeeTerritories.TerritoryID
FROM         dbo.EmployeeTerritories INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Employees ON dbo.EmployeeTerritories.EmployeeID = dbo.Employees.EmployeeID
WHERE     (dbo.EmployeeTerritories.TerritoryID = N'30346')
////////// end of sql statement
Thanks
GEMRemove the select clause and replace with a delete clause. Your delete clause needs to include the name of the table you want to delete from.
 
Assuming of course you want to use the T-SQL extension rather than SQL standard syntax:

As ever, BoL is the best starting point|||DELETE dbo.EmployeeTerritories
  FROM dbo.EmployeeTerritories 
  JOIN dbo.Employees 
    ON dbo.EmployeeTerritories.EmployeeID = dbo.Employees.EmployeeID
  WHERE (dbo.EmployeeTerritories.TerritoryID = N'30346')
