I need a script that can be schedule for a SQL7 server to archive a table-space's data for exery day except current, then pull the last 7 days worth of data back into the table. Any one have anything like this? My dbase is a load totaling dbase and the size is getting out of control.
View 4 RepliesWe are running SQL Server 2005 express on Windows 2003. The database server gets significant amounts of data.
Because of the 4GB data limit we have a daily cron task which goes through and deletes data older then 90 days.
We would like a way to archive this data instead of deleting it. Is there any way to take data and compress it and store it in a different way, so that if needed, customers can query directly out from the compressed data? Cleary querying from compressed would be slower but that is ok.
Any other solutions that would allow us to archive data instead of deleting it? Thanks.
Project assigned to me called ''Archive off old data''.As SQL DBA the best way to archive large table is data Partitioning. But one table does not enough in terms of size to do partition and plus table has 32 other tables,view,sps dependencies.The data from that table needs to archive off every week to different database on different server. My question are
1) what is the best way to archive data ?
2) what are steps I need to follow ? Do I need to remove dependencies first and then take out data?.
Hello, everyone:
What does "data archive" mean in SQL Server? Is it same thing as archiving in Oracle?
Thanks.

Hi Folks,
We have transactional replication setup to replicate data from production across to a reporting server.
We want to ARCHIVE production, but don't want the ARCHIVE duplicated on the reporting server.
Does anyone know of a way that the reporting server can be stopped from replicating these changes, and continue to hold the FULL history of the database?
Cheers,
David

I have a table contains huge rows of data. Performance issue raised. I amthinking archive some data so that the table will not be that big. The mostconvience way is move it to another table. The problem is: will this solvemy performance problem? or I need to move it to another database to reducethe database size?Regards,TrueNo

The purchased-application mssql 6.5, sp 4 that I am working on has one large table has 13m illion. It the largest table considering thenextlatgest table is only1.75 million rows.
Thew vnedor has made a change to this largest table in recommending changing a data type -- char to varchar. To make this change easier to do,
I want to "archive" older data not necessary for the current year or current processing to another table.
What is the best way to do this archiving?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have two tables say A and Archive. After a certain period of time some records are to be sent to archive table.To copy records to archive table I am using SqlBulkCopy operations.Now I have to delete the records from A Table. I was thinking of sending a Comma seperated id's of rows that are to be deleted to a stored procedure.Are there any better techniques to move data to archive table and to remove data from main table.?Thanks.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the requirement to implement archiving of some database old data.
The database is not used to store files, just table with text/numeric data, some data modification logs.
Which strategies do you usually use to archive old records from a database?
Do you move old/unused data to another similar database in another server?
The data needs to be accessible for read access, even when archived.
I am using SQL 2012 SE. I have 2 databases say A and B with same structure and relationships. There are 65 tables in each database. A is already replicating data to database C for 35 tables. Now I need to move data from A to B which is greater than getdate()-1 everyday for all the tables and once the move is done I need to delete this data from A. And the same thing the next day and everyday. Since this is for 65 tables its challenging to identify the insert order. Once the insert order is identified the delete order will be the reverse of it.
Is there a tool or any SP that could generate the insert order script? The generate scripts data only is generating the entire data and these databases are almost 400GB. Some tables have 200Mil+ rows. So it takes forever.
I'm looking for a process to archive data through replication. I have nightly job that purge records in few source tables(publisher) retaining only 3 yrs data. I have archive database (subscriber) that contains prior 3 yrs data and current 3 yrs data.
Before nightly job DELETES records in Source table i want to STOP replication so that the delete is not replicated in archive database. After the job completes i would like to TURN ON replication so that any new inserts and updates in Source will ONLY be replicated in archive database.
My DBA tested this but after last step of turning replication back ON archive database is sync'd with source table.
There are around 70 tables where 30 of them are transactional tables that needs record purge. Developing ETL process is possible but tedious.
I wrote code to archive Data.I created a table that set the maximum number of records to archive and delete and loop until finished or a set a flag in a table to stop archiving. I was able to limit the number of records to commit.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.
Thanks,
I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

I am wondering if it is possible to archive records out of a SQL Server Database. The records would then be removed from the original database. This process should be able to be run multiple times (with user interface).

I'm working on a new database of 25GB in size with an expected 25% growth per year and an estimated 1000 TPS. Since I need to retain the old data for atleast 7 years. I would like to know whether I should Archive the database or is there any other means of storing the data, which will be used just to generate reports.

A client of mine just asked about Archiving and Purging their data (based on different time constraints). For isntance, certain data would get archived after 3 years over to a different database, others purged all together. My thoughts off the bat are store procedures run on a job schedule.
Any other thoughts or ideas?
Is there a way to archive my databases which are not in use so that i can reduce my disk space and i should be able to use them sometime in future?
let me know

We already integrated different client data to MDS with MS Excel plugin, now we want to push back updated or new added record to source database. is it possible do using MDS? Do we have any background sync process to which automatically sync data to and from subscriber and MDS?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy SP looks like this that originally populates the record set.

As
INSERT INTO KBFile (KBID, rev, filename, moddate, owner, author)VALUES (@KBID,@rev,@filename,@moddate,@owner, @author)GO

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to replicate to an archive database. This means that the subscriber will have data that has been removed from the publisher. In my reading, I haven't seen any discussion of this specific scenario.
Here's what I imagine the solution might be:
EXEC sp_addpublication_snapshot
@publication = N'My_Publication',
@frequency_type = 1 -- only create the snapshot once
GO
...
EXEC sp_addarticle
@publication = N'My_Publication',
@article = N'My_Table',
@source_owner = N'dbo',
@source_object = N'My_Table',
@del_cmd = 'NONE',
GO
I set the publication snapshot to only execute once, that would be during the maintenance window when it is initially installed. Then, on the tables that will contain archived data, I specify that deletes aren't replicated.
Here's my concern: aren't there times when you need to resync?
If you could push a new snapshot that dropped the tables on the subscriber and built the thing up from scratch, then things would sync-up just fine. But in this scenario if you drop the subscriber tables then you've just lost your archive.
What's the best way to handle this?
Thanks,

I have a table called customers that store information about the particular customer. I would like to have a table called Archive so that when I delete a Customer that have not been active for a specific time then the deleted information will be automatically be inserted into the Archive table. Do I need to create the archive table with the same numbers of columns as exactly as the customer table?
I need some basic idea about how this should be implemented.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I am pretty new MS SQL server,
I am actaully working as an SAP BASIS ADMIN and 1 of our client is on MS SQL 2005 with SP1 as the DB and Win 2003 as the server.
I just wanted to know
1) How can we login to the dbase from the command prompt?
2) How to alter the database to NON-ARCHIVE mode and back to ARCHIVE MODE ?
I just wanted to execute few SAP activities for which i dont want the database to generate the archive logs, so i need some assistance.
Hoping to START GOOD here in this forum...
Thanks a million in advance to all
Waiting to hear from all the SQL gurus.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
