Is there a query that will, say, trim a table down to a million rows (with
some sort order, of course, as I'm interested in deleting the oldest ones)?

If you have got a datecolumn, you might also want to delete anything that is older than x days (2 in my example):

DELETE FROM database.table WHERE datecolumn <= DATE_SUB(sysdate(),INTERVAL 2 day);

Dominik
