Hello Forum,

What is the most efficient way to delete (say < 50,000) records from a table which has 1.5 billion records? Here is the query and data demographics. The PPI in TABLE1 is not being used due to the condition T1.DATE_CLOUMN1 > T2.DATE_COLUMN2.

     DELETE T1
     FROM TABLE1 T1,
     TABLE2 T2,
                      TABLE3 T3
     WHERE T1.COLUMN1= T2.COLUMN1
     AND T1.COLUMN1= T3.COLUMN1
     AND T1.DATE_CLOUMN1 > T2.DATE_COLUMN2
     AND T2.COLUMN3 ='ABC'


     T1.COLUMN1 IS INTEGER and part of the UPI in TABLE1
     T1.DATE_COLUMN1 is DATE and PPI of TABLE1
     T2.COLUMN1 is INTEGER and not part of any index in TABLE2
     T2.DATE_COLUMN2 is DATE and not part of any index in TABLE2
     T3.COLUMN1 is INTEGER and part of UPI in TABLE3


     Record count

     TABLE1 - 1.5 Billion
     TABLE2 - 93
     TABLE3 - 97

Thanks
