SQL Server DELETE performance issues - sql-server

Question

I have a table with approximately 1 million rows. Part of our maintenance involves deleting old row each day, but this is taking about 40 minutes.
The delete statement is:
DELETE
FROM [dbGlobalPricingMatrix].[dbo].[tblPricing]
WHERE type = 'car'
AND capid NOT IN
(SELECT cder_id FROM PUB_CAR.dbo.CapDer WHERE cder_discontinued
IS NULL OR DATEDIFF(dd,cder_discontinued,GETDATE()) <= 7)
AND source = #source
Is there anything I can do to improve the performance?
Thanks

Okay, as I suspected, you do not seem to have indexes for the fields that you reference in your DELETE query. So, add indexes for type, capid, cder_discontinued, and source.
Additionally, you might want to try AND capid IN (SELECT cder_id FROM PUB_CAR.dbo.CapDer WHERE cder_discontinued IS NOT NULL AND DATEDIFF(dd,cder_discontinued,GETDATE()) > 7). The optimizer of MS-SQL-Server should actually be doing this for you, but you never know, it is worth trying.
