taxonomy delete vocabulary I have a huge taxonomy vocabulary (over 5k terms) and I'm using a shared hosting account.

Whatever I try to delete the vocabulary from drupal I get the error

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/username/public_html/drupal_site/includes/database/database.inc on line 2179


Anyway after looking online I found that with shared hosting I can't change the max_execution_time .

My next bet is to delete it from the database level in phpmyadmin.

How would I go about doing that? Are there any other ways for me to accomplish what I'm trying?
You could also download and install the site / database on a local machine, delete the terms, and then restore the updated database using the 'backup and migrate' module. That way you would have full control of php.ini settings.
