Hi ,
I think the question is stupied, but it is importand for me.
I have a table tableA ( ....,order_num int).
I will to delete some records from tableA but in asc or desc
order_num-order.
Is it possible to write delete from tableA where (some conditions) order
by order_num ?
Many thanks,
ivan.

Try the following:
DELETE
FROM tableA
WHERE order_num IN (
SELECT order_num
FROM tableA
ORDER BY order_num
LIMIT n OFFSET m);
Use LIMIT to determine the number of rows to delete
and OFFSET to determine the "starting row".
