Hi all, I have a table with statistics with more than 15 million rows. I'd like to delete the oldest statistics and this can be about 7 million rows. Which method would you recommend me to do this? I'd be also interested in calculate some kind of statistics about these deleted rows, like how many rows have been deleted for date. I was thinking in creating a function, any recommendations?
Copy and drop old table. If you delete you will have a massive problem with a bloated table and vacuum will not help unless you expect the table to grow to this size regulally otherwise vacuum full will take ages. Peter.
