delete taking really long time! mysql
- by every_answer_gets_a_point
i am doing this:
delete calibration_2009 from
calibration_2009 join batchinfo_2009
on calibration_2009.rowid = batchinfo_2009.rowid
where batchinfo_2009.reporttime like '%2010%';
both tables have about 500k lines of data
i suspect that 250k match the criteria to be deleted
so far it has been running for 2 hours!!! is there something wrong?
