Also found out the partition_tag has to be part or the primary, and or ALL unique keys. But, good to know that the delete by partition is faster. Our combination of penpals/ and all the invalid (dha) addresses in maddr have made that original penpals query very slow (which is why we decided to byte the bullet and convert to 2.6) If I can, and its generic enough, I'll try to update the mysql documentation for 2.7?
