Delete 3 tables at a time

Question

As normal select query i am getting 3 tables data at a time
like
select * from table_1 t1,table_2 t2,table_3 t3
where t1.col1 = t2.col1
and t2.col1 = t3.col1
and t1.col5 = t3.col2
like this is there a way to delete those 3 tables data at a time. other than 3 seperate delete statements
Any helps will be appreciated.

Answer 1

It is possible that you could do a
DELETE FROM ( <<your query>> )
WHERE <<your criteria>>but that relies on every column being key-preserved in the SELECT statement, which is rather unlikely.
Multiple delete statements (preferrably wrapped in one or more procedures) would probably be the best approach.
