innodb slow on delete (1 reply)

Hi

we have a main table that has many tables coming off it (e.g. 1000 tables), each table has a fk reference with 'on update cascade on delete cascade'

when we delete anything from the main table it takes a very long time to delete.

We understand this is due to the amount of tables it has to cascade down to but is there any way to opimise this?

thanks
