Off hand, I would iterate over the PRIMARY KEY, looking at a thousand rows at a
time, DELETEing any that need to be purged. I would use a Perl or PHP loop, or
write a stored procedure. More discussion of "huge deletes" (which this
_could_ be):
http://mysql.rjweb.org/doc.php/deletebig
(PARTITIONing does not apply in your case, as I understand it.)
I like the loop:
SELECT @z := customer_log_id FROM customers_log LIMIT 1000, 1;
DELETE FROM customers_log
WHERE customer_log_id >= @left_off AND customer_log_id < @z
AND created_on < NOW() - INTERVAL 90 DAY;
sleep a few seconds (to be a nice guy)
Plus code to take care of iterating and terminating.
That loop could be done continually.
It seems that customer_id is irrelevant??
