Either:
delete
from tbldata
where (unitID,variableID,cycleID) in
(select unitID, variableID, cycleID from temp_data_table)
Or:
delete from tblData where
tblData.unitID = temp_data_table.unitID
and tblData.variableID = temp_data_table.variableID
and tblData.cycleID = temp_data_table.cycleID
Hope this helps,
