Answer 1

Another way using CTE.

;WITH cte 
     AS (SELECT * 
         FROM   workrecord2 w 
         WHERE  EXISTS (SELECT 1 
                        FROM   employee e 
                        WHERE  employeerun = employeeno 
                               AND company = '1' 
                               AND date = '2013-05-06')) 
DELETE FROM cte 

Note : We cannot use JOIN inside CTE when you want to delete.

Possible this be helpful for you -

DELETE FROM dbo.WorkRecord2 
WHERE EmployeeRun IN (
    SELECT e.EmployeeNo
    FROM dbo.Employee e
    WHERE ...
)

Or try this -

DELETE FROM dbo.WorkRecord2 
WHERE EXISTS(
    SELECT 1
    FROM dbo.Employee e
    WHERE EmployeeRun = e.EmployeeNo
        AND ....
)

Try this query :

DELETE WorkRecord2, Employee 
FROM WorkRecord2 
INNER JOIN Employee ON (tbl_name.EmployeeRun=tbl_name.EmployeeNo)
WHERE tbl_name.Company = '1' 
AND tbl_name.Date = '2013-05-06';

This is a simple query to delete the records from two table at a time.

DELETE table1.* ,
       table2.* 
FROM table1 
INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id= table2.id where table1.id ='given_id'
