I am trying this syntax which is my interpretation of the docs:

     delete from siblings s1 using siblings s2
        WHERE  s1.principal = s2.principal
              and s1.sibling=175

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?


1. What's happening - are you getting an error?

2. What is the query supposed to do? I can't see why you're not just doing:
DELETE FROM siblings WHERE sibling=175;
