Asunto: Problem deleteing records
I have a problem with a table that is too big it contains around
35,000,000 lines and each end of month i have to take out about
20,000,000 lines from it
so my delete command is :
delete from table where column_value<******
on a column that is indexed.
But each time i do that i have mysql that have "too many connection
problem" and i have to kill and restart mysql in the middle of the
process.
I finish up with a huge table that i must repaire and that takes time
and sometime it does not even work.
i have " max connections=1000 " and even this does not seem to be
enough.
Does anyone has a better way so that i can delete my records without
damaging my table and having to restart mysql..
V!nay
