Hi,

I am trying to delete contents from table named "tasks" by joining it with another table "tasktype". But am getting an error when trying to delete.
It says incorrect syntax near INNER.
Here is what i have tried.

SQL

DELETE FROM tasks t
INNER JOIN tasktype tt
ON t.tasktypeID = tt.tasktypeID
WHERE tt.tasktypename = 'Ad-hoc'

Thank you.
