title: Can a powerful machine improve performance of DELETE?
body: <p>I am using MySQL 5.7 and trying to delete 100 million rows from an Innodb table by primary key.</p>
  <p>The table is built in a RDS and I execute the delete query via SQLYOG on my personal PC.</p>
  <p>In my view, no matter which client connect to the RDS, it only send the delete query to RDS and then the RDS run it and will not use the resources from client. However, I was told that if I connect to the RDS and execute the delete query on a powerful server, it will significantly accelerate the speed.</p>
  <p>Is this true? Could anyone explain it please?</p>
