I have Cglobal table created for storing client variable.  The issue is that I
haven't purged the table since 2001. I have totally forgotten about it.  The
problem is that i have over 3000000 records in there and the table is over 900
mb in size.  I would like to purge is but when i try deleting the records, it
always times out.  I tried deleted records year by year, but still time out.

Is there a simply way of deleting those records and is there any danger in
deleting them?
