we have 4 million records in our test db
How to delete them batch wise....Can you gimme a hint

Here's a useful script which Lynn Pettis prepared earlier: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost1357526.aspx

You have 4 million rows in your test db which classifies it as "very small", but of those, how many rows do you currently delete?
