Answer / ram
Guys, Please see the question again. It is related to
deleting different tables. I guess, the question is
intented to get the answer - ON DELETE CASCADE. We give
foreign constraints on tables and when the parent record is
deleted, the child records are automatically deleted when
you give command as ON DELETE CASCADE

delete complete row.
delete from emp where rowid not in ( select max(rowid) from
emp group by empno having count(redundantcolumnName) > 1)
