Hi all,
I have a table I needed to prune because it had grown to 5 million rows and
it appeared that that app that uses it couldnt anymore.
I am in the process of:
DELETE FROM mytable WHERE id < 3000000;
the above has been running for close than an hour and I am starting to get a
little nervous.
it is on freebsd 6.3, mysql 4.x on a Single core dell 2.8 GHx I think.
I have shut down all process but necessary one so mysql has full access to
the cpu.
Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do to speed this up?
-G
