Of the 1.5 million about how many records are you removing? If it is a
small % then indexing by company could help dramatically (or at least it
would with a select, I have never had a performance sensitive delete).

Subject: SQL Delete Performance - Why so Horrible?

Hi All,

Why is the SQL DELETE performace so terrible?

I have a file with 1,500,000 records.  When I do:

DELETE FROM filename WHERE company = pCompany

in a stored procedure running in batch, it takes nearly 30 minutes!  Of
course,
an SQL DROP or a CL "CLRPFM" works within seconds, but I really must
check the
company before deleting.

Would indexing by company help?

Thoughts?  Ideas?  Thanks.

William
