I want to perform a Select by Attribute selection on a Feature Class in ModelBuilder, but I know the Select by Attribute tool does not work in this situation. I need to perform this function as I want to avoid creating an additional dataset. This task is the second to last one, the last one being a Delete Rows.

You will need to use the Make Feature Layer tool on your feature class first, then you will be able to use Select Layer By Attribute on that.

See also the help topic on Using layers and table views, I think this provides a pretty good overview. – blah238 Aug 9 '12 at 22:16
