Dear all,
Today I need to delete some records in > 70 GB tables. I have 4 tables in mysql database. my delete command is :- delete from metadata where id>2474; but it takes hours to complete. One of my table structure is as :- CREATE TABLE `metadata` ( `meta_id` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `id` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL, `url` varchar(800) DEFAULT NULL, `meta_field` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL, `meta_value` varchar(2000) DEFAULT NULL, `dt_stamp` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (`meta_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=388780373 ; Please let me know any quickest way to do this. I tried to create indexes in these tables on id, but this too takes time.
