I have a question about the multiple table delete syntax. First the
documentation on the website is very clear. My question is why not how. The
'delete from using' is not ambiguous (to me). My question is about the form:

   delete t1 from t1,t2 where ...

I would take this to mean remove matching records from t2. I assume the reason
records are removed from t1 is SQL language consistency.  But as an SQL newbie,
I can not see it.

Thanks for any thoughts.
