I have a MySQL database table which has more than 250000 of records. Now I like to delete around 230000 records under specific condition. When I am trying to do this, I am not able to achieve it by anyway since it is completely loading for all the time.
I have tried by writing PHP script to read the data one by one and delete it. Also I tried to take the back up of the data to try by dropping the table. But I am not able to take the backup. Also I tried to re-index, that also didn't work.
I got totally stuck up with this issue and couldn't find any way to fix.
Please anyone help me if you know any way to sort this out.
Thanks a lot, Ram
You need to index the table on the fields that you have in your WHERE conditions. In your example:
DELETE FROM Participator WHERE EventID = 180;
The index should be on EventID. Add the index with the following statement:
ALTER TABLE Participator add index(EventID);
