So it is really an ideological thing and not lack of demand or
implementation attempts... I for myself can't write working C code

meis the one about deleting in batches. But that might be enough.<br /><br /> As for it being illogical, I don't think
it'sany more so than<br /><blockquote>DELETE FROM foo WHERE random() < 0.1;<br /></blockquote> and you can do that
