Delete Command button doesn't take more than one parameter while update command does

Question

Hi,
Does anybody have an idea WHY sharepoint does not send the parameter information to a delete command while the exact same parameter is being sent to the Update command?, the data is being pulled from an asp:TextBox bound  to the 'comments' field in
the data source which happens to be the field I need to update, the code works for Update commands but not for Delete commands. Unfortunately I have to use sharepoint designer because SP is restricted at work, so I can't write code behind the scenes. I would
appreciate any help, here's my code

Hi,
you have multiple options here:
1) upload as a script:
a) save the statements in a file
b) go to sql workshop > sql scripts
c) upload script and run the script
2) run the script line by line in the sql commands window directly:
a) go to sql workshop > sql commands
b) copy all statements there
c) highlight the first statement with the mouse
d) click "run" or press <ctrl>+enter
3) use sql developer
a) go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html
b) download and install
c) connect to XE
d) run the statements there
