Hi. Please help me. Here is the screenshot of Stats table that is full with old data:


How can I save my time and delete rows of all the years except 2012?

... even when I choose to show 1000 rows - it gets more than 2400 pages and manually it might take at least 1 day to clean old data



I really appreciate your help,
Helmuts

    delete from stats where `date` < '1-jan-2012'

    This is permanent. Be sure you want to do this.

    Hey nonin, dont forget to optimize the table and maybe adding some index to certain columns to make your app faster.
