DELETE with NOLOGGING?

574641Jan 22 2010 — edited Oct 4 2012
Hi All,

Using Oracle 10g version

I have a table A and want to delete almost 15 million rows. My DBA was suggesting to use delete statement with no logging option. My questions
1) does a nologging work for delete option?
2) if yes then what is the syntax?
Delete from A nologging where col1="hello" ?

3) Does the table need to be created with NOLOGGING option for this?

I could find articles regarding NOLOGGING for inserts in asktom etc... but couldnt find for DELETE ...

Please help

Thanks,
Saff
