Purge script became very slow after speedy execution for couple of days
WE are purging some old data by scheduling the purge script.
This script runs continuously over a day to purge old records to control the db growth.
Initial ly for 3-4 days, the purge script execution performance was optimum with purging 5 million records.
After that,it has become immensly slow,deleting only 0.2 million records.
Due to this ,db has again started growing.
Your suggestions/views/thoughts on how to make it faster again are highly appreciated.
