I am getting the above error message while attempting to execute a Delete
Query.  I believe the syntax is correct; the Error message description in
the online book is rather obtuse.  I am wondering if someone could tell me
if it is a syntax problem or a problem with the data itself.  Here's the
Delete

DELETE FROM QUEUE
WHERE      (TRANSTO = 'ANYONE')

Thanks in advance,

Matt,

 Sounds like a corruption problem.  Do a checktable and a textalloc
(dbcc commands) on the table(s) in question.

I believe the syntax should be

DELETE QUEUE
WHERE      (TRANSTO = 'ANYONE')

no 'FROM'.  That's SQL-92 standard syntax.
