Good day everyone,

I have few tables where i need to delete above 50 million rows each. Since i dont want to delete them all in one shot and block my table for extended time, i am trying to use limit with delete but its giving me error every time. May i please get some assistance here? Thanks

Here is what i am running:

delete from mytable where id in (select id from mytable where condition=true limit 1000);


Wouldn't "delete from mytable where condition=true limit 1000" be sufficient?



That syntax doesn't exist.


I should have tried the statement before asking, thanks!
I got confused by other databases (used it on Db2).


Best regards
Dimitre
