As a best practice, include only one SQL statement on this tab. If your situation requires multiple statements, place one statement each in separate Connect SQL rules. Your activity can cause the statements to be executed in the desired sequence. If your situation requires many statements executed in sequence, consider using a stored procedure.
As an alternative, if your application needs to perform a simple operations against an external database, it is best practice to use the External Database Table Mapping wizard or the Connector and Metadata wizard or the to configure access to the rows as an external class. When such external access is configured for an external table, you can use the Obj-Open, Obj-Browse, and other Obj- methods to interact with that table through a class that represents it; you do not need to create SQL connector rules. However, you can still use the Delete tab to enter the SQL to delete a row or rows from a relational database. The SQL statement in this tab operates in conjunction with an activity that uses the RDB-Delete method. See About generating connector rules and Data Model category — Database Class Mappings page.
