Did you know that ransomware is the most widespread, destructive malware in the world today? It accounts for 39% of all security breaches, with ransomware gangsters projected to make $11.5B in profits from online extortion by 2019.
SQL Server Delete
I am using SQL Azure. I am trying to test something and I can't get this delete query to work. I am guessing it has something to do with the fact that my criteria for deleting a record has nothing to do with that table I am deleting from.
DELETE FROM [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Sessions]
WHERE [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Users].[Id] = [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Users].[Ud]
GO

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years.

Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.
Why don't you explain what you are trying to do? I can't interpret what your query does and I don't want t speculate and start sending queries your way.
I have a sessions table. I have a users table. Some of the users are anonymous as indicated by their Id = Username (Their username is a Guid). I want to delete anonymous users and their sessions. Here, I am just trying to delete their sessions.
A simplified version:
A simplified version:
DELETE FROM Sessions AS S
WHERE Users.Id = Users.Username
BTW - The error I am getting is "The multi-part identifier 'DatabaseName.dbo.Users.Id
delete s
from sessions s
inner join users u
on s.User_Id = u.Id -- Is this the right join between sessions and users?
and u.Id = u.Username
from sessions s
inner join users u
on s.User_Id = u.Id -- Is this the right join between sessions and users?
and u.Id = u.Username
delete from sessions where sessions.id in (select id from users, sessions where sessions.id = users.id and users.username = 'anonymous')
try tuning that to fit your needs and be careful when working with delete statements. As Brandon tried to explain to you, the more information the better for a potential valid answer.
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'. I have tried this before.... I am not a complete newbie at SQL Server, starting to think it has something to do with SQL Azure.
DELETE FROM [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Sessions] as S
INNER JOIN [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Users] as U on S.UserId = U.Id
WHERE U.Id = U.Username
GO
What are the exact names of the columns / tables you are trying to work with and what is the value for the 'anonymous' identifier in the column ?
-- 'as' just provides an alias for the table you are working with.
Good luck.
-- 'as' just provides an alias for the table you are working with.
Good luck.
again (the syntax is that you have to delete from the ALIAS)
delete s
from sessions as S
inner join users as U
on U.id = s.UserID
delete s
from sessions as S
inner join users as U
on U.id = s.UserID

Anonymous users have Users.Id = Users.Username. When someone comes into the application, right away I create an anonymous user by adding them into the database, they simply have an Id generated (Guid) and I assign that Id as their Username as well. They don't have any other information (until they sign in or register). Here are the necessary fields I am working with.
Users Table:
Id
....
Username
....
Sessions Table:
UserId
....
Users Table:
Id
....
Username
....
Sessions Table:
UserId
....
delete from sessions s where S.userid in (select id from users u, sessions ss where ss.userid = u.id and u.username = 'Guid')
delete from sessions s where S.userid in (select u.id from users u, sessions ss where ss.userid = u.id and u.username = 'Guid')
Oh, sorry guys I missed that. This would work but I am getting an error because my Users.Id (guid) is different from Users.Username (varchar). See new question here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS-SQL-Server/SQL_Server_2008/Q_26871234.html
DELETE S FROM [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Sessions] as S
INNER JOIN [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Users] as U on S.UserId = U.Id
WHERE U.Id = U.Username
GO
There is no need to start a new question:
DELETE S FROM [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Sess
INNER JOIN [DatabaseName].[dbo].[User
WHERE cast(U.Id as char(36)) = U.Username
GO
DELETE S FROM [DatabaseName].[dbo].[Sess
INNER JOIN [DatabaseName].[dbo].[User
WHERE cast(U.Id as char(36)) = U.Username
GO
