Removing records from one tables that common in other table.

[Habibullah]

Must be very simple but don't know how to delete records.

I have two tables A, and B. Table A has total 7926 records. 3126
records out of these 7926 is in table B. I need to remove these 3126
records from Table A.

Thanks.

DELETE
FROM
[Table A] As a
WHERE
EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [Table B] WHERE ID = a.ID)
