How are you selecting the rows to be deleted? Is it in one cursor driving a loop with incremental commits or is it done via batch cycles of 10,000-row delete ... from ...where commit; delete ... from ...where commit; .............?

Subject: How to make deletes faster.
Hello All,
I have a non-partitioned table with 20 millions
records and growing. Every night a pl/sql stored
procedures deletes around 1 million rows 10,000 at a
time.Currently it is taking aroung 1 hour to delete 1
million messages.
Is there any way I can make deletes faster. I need
good suggestions. I have already tried all the obvious
init.ora parameters like make_delete_faster=true but
they do not seem to work.:-)
Thanks
Sonia
