>I need to remove about two millions records from a table. This is because on a development environment, I need to start from a fresh copy of the production. However, when deleting so many rows, it takes a very long time because of the log process. How to delete all the records without having this log process to slow things down?

Did you try to

TRUNCATE TABLE

?
