I'm trying to move data between 2 tables. > INSERT INTO new_table SELECT * FROM old_table LIMIT 50000; > DELETE FROM old_table LIMIT 50000;
This is the only process that deletes data from old_table, can I be *sure* that the limit in these 2 queries will address the same data set?
(if I don't limit to small numbers in the LIMIT, I/O gets too high, so I'm moving data slowly in batches)
