Hi Bob,

Another way to solve this problem would be to add a unique key column to 
your table and use that to specify which row should be deleted. The 
following script shows how this would work.

Hope this helps,
-Rick

-----------------

connect 'jdbc:derby:memory:db;create=true';

-- create a little procedure to pause between inserts
create procedure sleep( millis bigint )
language java parameter style java no sql
external name 'java.lang.Thread.sleep';

create table t( id int generated always as identity, dateCol date, 
timeCol time );

insert into t( dateCol, timeCol ) values ( current date, current time );
call sleep( 1000 );
insert into t( dateCol, timeCol ) values ( current date, current time );
call sleep( 1000 );
insert into t( dateCol, timeCol ) values ( current date, current time );

select * from t order by dateCol, timeCol;

select id from t order by dateCol, timeCol fetch first 1 row only;

delete from t where id =
( select id from t order by dateCol, timeCol fetch first 1 row only );

select * from t order by dateCol, timeCol;
