>>I have a table with around 1000 records. I need to delete some range of records from it. The record I want starts with "/DeviceRGB {} cs" and Ends with "(Section Ends Here)) 198.636 Tj". I need to delete all the records between these two (including these two also).

>>After "(Section Ends Here)) 198.636 Tj" again few records are there which I do not want to delete, but want to keep.

>>In the above case I need to Delete records from 4 to 13 and 19 to 32. There may be n number of such cases in my table. Is there can be any SQL or command that can do it fast and at one stretch.
