hello... i am faced with an enigma.

SQL> select * from p_sku_at_shopowner_lnk where sku_cd not in   2 (select sku_cd from p_sku);

no rows selected

SQL> delete from p_sku_at_shopowner_lnk where sku_cd not in (   2 select sku_cd from p_sku);

2 rows deleted.

there are no triggers on any of these objects.

SQL> select * from dba_triggers where table_name like '%SKU%';

no rows selected

this 8.1.6 db lives on sun-ultra 60 (solaris).

if there are no rows returned for the select statement, how can there be a delete? i'm trying to solve a problem for progammers. any feedback would be most appreciated.

thanks,
kris austin
