How will DELETE WHERE sales_id IN (...); , given that test_old has no index?

Of course, we don't know if there's an index on sales.bill_date, since OP's only response has been another "tell me how to do it".

But the first thing he does is drop test_old.

Then:

Create table test_old as select * from sales where bill_date<now() -interval '1 year';

At that point you could do either:

Delete from sales where sales_id in (select sales_id from test_old);

or

DELETE FROM sales WHERE bill_date<NOW() -INTERVAL '1 year';

Drop table test_old;
Create table test_old as select * from sales where bill_date<now() -interval '1 year';

Delete table sales where sales_id in (select sales_id from test_old;

End;
$$ language plpgsql;


Kindly guide me

Why not just DELETE FROM sales WHERE bill_date<NOW() -INTERVAL '1 year';?


Because it looks like the OP is saving the old records in test_old.
