I must be in an alternate universe. So, I have turned off images in my browser and I am looking at http://www.sqlite.org/lang_delete.html No matter how much I squint at it, I just cannot see the following text anywhere on the page that would be the equivalent of the diagram at http://www.sqlite.org/images/syntax/delete-stmt.gif DELETE FROM qualified-table-name WHERE expr If you see the docs at Pg or MySQL, they are in BNF format (I believe that is what it is called). It is plain text, so it can be parsed, seen, read aloud, and viewed via lynx (for those who care). -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
