Sorry. I realize this is a rather newbie question, but I've got a slow
delete going on here, and I could use some help figuring out why. This
is the classic "get rid of orphans" select.
delete from citizen where id not in (select citizenid from
citizen_stage);
citizen.id and citizen_stage.citizenid are both indexed.
The explain select tells me that there is a sequential select of
citizen_stage records. (??) There are 75009 citizen records and 14778
records, and it's taking more than half an hour. How can I speed this
up?
Thanks,
Doug
