How do I DELETE a large number of records in SQL Server?
Use TRUNCATE instead of DELETE if you want to delete whole table. Try to narrow data what you want to delete and create indexes on columns to filter in data. Try to prevent logging by log backup. Move out data to a temp table what you don’t want to delete, then truncate the table then insert data back.
Is it better to update or delete and INSERT?
For best future query performance, it’s better to do an update to keep the same extents. Delete and insert will not necessarily use the same extents. For a table of that size, it would be unlikely to do so. Furthermore, delete can leave “holes” in your data.
Is delete slower than insert?
So, in either case, DELETE operation takes longer than INSERT. Your question is similar the topic has been discussed here. I think that the answer is still actual. As a rule of thumb I would say a update is usually faster then an delete.
Is there any way to optimize performance of SQL delete?
We have a query to remove some rows from the table based on an id field (primary key). It is a pretty straightforward query: delete all from OUR_TABLE where ID in (123, 345.) The problem is no.of ids can be huge (Eg. 70k), so the query takes a long time. Is there any way to optimize this? (We are using sybase – if that matters).

How to speed up the delete process in a database?
Something like this: Deleting large number of records can be sped up with some interventions in database, if database model permits.

Why is delete in Big Table so slow?
delete can be slow if big table has recursive foreign key. if so, find opportune time, disable dependend services, disable recursive foreign key, perform massive delete, then restore foreign key again.
