well, possibly.. I just didnt' want to do the query at all unless it was
needed - but I dunno which adds the more overhead, using perl (this is my
only use for perl, without this it wouldn't be used at all) or calling a
query like...
delete * from table where age > 1 day and rng(1000) == 1;
I presume by you're comment that you wanted to do this too? Is a feature
request in order here?
