This in some ways is similar to Oracle where the FROM is optional in a 
DELETE (ie. DELETE foo WHERE ...).  By omitting the first FROM, the 
syntax ends up mirroring the UPDATE case:

DELETE foo FROM bar WHERE ...

UPDATE foo FROM bar WHERE ...

However I think the syntax should also support the first FROM as being 
optional (even though it looks confusing):

DELETE FROM foo FROM bar WHERE ...
