8.4 is very old. It's been unsupported for two years already.

You can't have joins in a DELETE -- which table would it actually
delete from? You can use a subselect to do look up information from
other tables in your delete though.

EXTRACT and date_part have no idea where the data they're passed came
from. They can come from tables or other functions or expressions. The
error you quoted is indicating that dateline is of type integer
however. The syntax for EXTRACT is confusing (blame the SQL
committee...) but you don't want the extra "timestamp" keyword before
the column there -- in the examples that's part of the literal being
used to have it be read as a timestamp.
