Removing rows from a result

I have a query which returns the following results. What i want to do
is remove any rows where col1 does not appear in col2. e.g. "107". As
well as this i want to remove any rows that are affected by this, e.g.
"109" as once 107 goes, 109 does not appear in col2.
Thanks in advance.
col1 col2
1 108
1 112

Try something like this
drop table #temp
drop table #temp1
create table #temp (col1 int, col2 int )
insert into #temp values (1, 108 )
insert into #temp values (1, 112 )
insert into #temp values (1, 115 )
insert into #temp values (1, 116 )
insert into #temp values (1, 117 )
insert into #temp values (1 ,118 )
insert into #temp values (107,109 )
insert into #temp values (108,114 )
insert into #temp values (109,110 )
insert into #temp values (110,111 )
insert into #temp values (112,113 )
insert into #temp values (118,119 )
insert into #temp values (118,1 )
create table #temp1 (col1 int, col2 int )
while 1 = 1
begin
truncate table #temp1
insert into #temp1 select * from #temp a where not exists (select 1
from #temp b where a.col1 = b.col2 )
if @.@.rowcount = 0
break
delete #temp from #temp
inner join #temp1 on #temp.col1 = #temp1.col1
end
select * from #temp|||On Apr 3, 12:59 pm, "M A Srinivas" <masri...@.gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for this. Is this the only way to achieve this result? I was
hoping to do it in the initial query without using temp tables.
