Question : Deletes

Is their a way to speed up deletes in Oracle? I disabled the FK constraints and am committing frequently.

Answer : Deletes

What percentage of the rows in the table are you deleting?

It might be quicker to create a new table, insert the rows you want to keep, drop the original table then rename the new table.

create table new_table as (select * from old_table where rows_to_keep=1);
drop table old_table;
rename new_table to old_table;
