It appears that every time I start query the event or the data table
gets Locked.
Could this have any affect on why it takes so long to delete records.
Grasping at straws,
Thank you,
Raymond

I've had to delete large amounts of records from tables with over 200 millions records. You are correct in that you want to do it in
chunks. How you divide the deletes is up to you to decide. You would want to do it based on a indexed column, like a date, and
specify a range.
