Hi,

I have a temporary table called #tmp_cohort that was constructed using this create statement.

create local temporary table #tmp_cohort(
patientid integer not null,
age float not null,
sex string not null,
patgroup string not null,
admtime timestamp not null,
distime timestamp not null,
los long not null,
icuoutcome string,
hospoutcome string,
PRIMARY KEY(patientid)
);

After filling it up it contains 12230 records. I only want to keep 10 records and remove the rest.

When I do the following select it does indeed return the 10 records I want to keep.

select *
from #tmp_cohort c
where c.patientid in (24123,55785,16667,53701,30763,59762,22679,46328,46453,55956)

The delete command however returns "0 rows deleted":

delete from #tmp_cohort
where patientid not in (24123,55785,16667,53701,30763,59762,22679,46328,46453,55956);

This is the query plan:
