How to DELETE with JOIN in Snowflake
Let's suppose you have these Students and Rejected tables and your target is to DELETE the rows of the first one using the values of the second.
CREATE TABLE Students(
Name varchar(50),
Surname varchar(50),
Period int,
Sport int,
History int,
English int,
Geography int)
INSERT INTO
Students(Name,Surname,Period,Sport,History,English,Geography)
VALUES
('Luke','Green',1,30,20,23,NULL),
('Mary','Brown',1,17,15,NULL,30),
('John','Red',1,18,NULL,21,30),
('Walter','White',1,22,20,5,30),
('Luke','Green',2,30,20,23,NULL),
('Mary','Brown',2,NULL,15,17,30),
('John','Red',2,18,NULL,11,30),
('Walter','White',2,2,32,1,30),
('Luke','Green',3,20,15,15,12),
('Mary','Brown',3,0,3,NULL,4),
('John','Red',3,18,40,21,30),
('Walter','White',3,17,19,15,30),
('John','Red',3,NULL,23,23,30);

CREATE TABLE Rejected(
Name varchar(50),
Surname varchar(50))
INSERT INTO
Rejected(Name,Surname)
VALUES
('John','Red'),
('Walter','White');

You can use the following query to DELETE the values of Students using the values of Rejected, without any filter conditions.
DELETE
FROM Students
using Rejected
where Students.Name=Rejected.Name
AND Students.Surname=Rejected.Surname
