I have a select statement as follows... SELECT ... from user,class,category,assignment,grade WHERE grade.assignment_id=assignment.assignment_id AND assignment.category_id=category.category_id AND category.class_id=class.class_id AND class.teacher_id=user.user_id AND user.user_id=87 Can I change this to a delete statement simply by changing SELECT to DELETE? This select displays the appropriate information I wish to delete from a table.
