Dear MySQL,
I am having a lot of problems deleting a large amount of data. Say 20GB from a 40GB table. I seem to get failure quite a lot (due NOT to mysql, but bad hardware), then MySQL roles back the transaction, which takes as many hours and starting the transaction. I also get this a lot:
"Lock wait timeout exceeded; Try restarting transaction"
With InnoDB is there a way of completely disabling transactions on a session. So I can delete data without rollback and on bad termination, can restart and continue deleting where I left off?
Many thanks for an answer to this problem,
Ben Clewett.
