May 14, 2007Hi all I have table with about 67 million records
that are marked for deletion.
I know that I can
DELETE from table
WHERE ToBeDeleted='t'
But this may be too big a task for the server considering the amount
of data to delete at once. And if it runs out of resources and errors then nothing gets deleted....
Is there a way to segmant or loop so i can delete like 100k records at a time?
Many thanks in advance
Archive And Purge
Dec 13, 2007A 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?

SQL Server 2005 Purge?
Jun 9, 2006Greetings,
I have a SQL Server 2005 database which is populated with test data. I need to copy this database to a new instance and then purge the copied database of it's contents for the next round of testing.
I know there exists a Copy Database Wizard w/in the SQL Server Management Studio; I'm assuming I need to perform this first, then purge the existing data w/in the copy. The Copy operation looks pretty straight forward, but I haven't a clue on how to perform the purge.
Can someone help?

Purge Log Dump Device
Feb 22, 1999Suppose I am appending to my transaction log dump device every half hour,thus adding 48 log dumps per day. How can I purge my transaction dump device to only keep the last 1 week's worth of these logs. I do not wanted to issue an INIT in the command, because this will wipe it completely. I noticed an EXPIREDATE and RETAINDAYS parameter for the DUMP command. Can I use these to selectively purge the backup device or will these allow the device to be wiped clean also?
Thanks in advance,

DB Backup File Purge

Why Won't My Transaction Log Backups Purge
Oct 5, 2004Hi
We are running SQL Server 2000 and making full database backups using a maintenance plan. The transaction logs are being backed up via a separate plan.
However, the transaction log backups aren't purging but the database ones are. They are both run under the same id and both write to the same directory. Old text reports also get purged fine. I've got 'Delete older than 1 week' ticked for everything.
Can anyone think of anything else to check ?
Thanks
Looking For Simple Purge Of Records From A Table
May 21, 2007greets all, ive got a table with batches of records. each group of records has a batch id as part of the PK in the form BTCXXXX where XXXX is an auto-incremented number. so lets say i have 100 batches of 20k records per batch in the table. so the distinct batch ids are BTC0200 (oldest batch) through BTC0300 (newest batch).
i only want to keep the 90 most recent batches in the table at any given time.
is it ok to just subtract 90 from the last batch id and do something like:
DECLARE @batch_id char(10)
SET @batch_id = 'BTC' + batch_num-90
DELETE FROM ITEM_BATCH
WHERE BATCH_ID < @batch_id
i want to cover if the table has more than 90 batches and if the table has less then 90 batches. is this a feasible approach?
DB Mirroring Monitor Job - Purge Old Data?
Dec 14, 2006Hi,
Not sure if this question makes sense, but is it necessary to purge old data in msdb tables used by the db mirroring monitor job?
I'm just wondering if an insert into the data table every minute of the day would still be needed a month from now. I'm thinking this data would be useful for the purpose of "alerts" and to have access to its recent history, but other than that, is it recommended (or necessary)? Would these records keep accumulating until manually purged?
TIA.

View 13 Replies View RelatedAutomatic Purge Of Transaction Log Data?
Jan 25, 2007Hello,
I have a database that I am setting up in SQL Server 2005. Initially, I am doing very large imports of data. Every time I run an import, I am having the increase the size of my transaction logs, and now they are approaching 2 GB. Should these be purging themselves? I have to keep increasing the max size of the log so that I can get my data in. While this will work for now, it is not a long term solution, because I can see the log size growing quite large and the amount of space on the server obviously isn't infinite. Is there a setting that I can change so they will automatically purge? If not, how do I purge this information myself?
Thanks so much!

SQL 2012 :: How To Purge Old Store Procedures From Clients
Jul 11, 2014I do have very old versions of duplicate store procedures on my databases. I know there is no "safe" way to do this using DMVs, so I am planning to combine that with a trace. But I would like to get others opinions about that.
Here's the DMV I am planning to use:
SELECT
CASE WHEN database_id = 32767 then 'Resource' ELSE DB_NAME(database_id)END AS DBName
,OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(object_id,database_id) AS [SCHEMA_NAME]
,OBJECT_NAME(object_id,database_id)AS [OBJECT_NAME]
,cached_time
,last_execution_time
,execution_count
[Code] ....
I will save that on a local table and run it every 5 min maybe? Or at an interval equal or lower than PLE?
Baffled. How To Purge Old Backups With Maint Plan
Apr 13, 2006I'm missing something basic...
Trying to create a new job from sql server 2005 Management Studio. The nifty wizard under Management provides options to create backups, and clean history, but I cant seem to find out how to create a job to purge old backups.
Looking at the commnand line Sql Server Agent Job shows:
/SQL "Maintenance PlansFull Backups" /SERVER "JFSLIB-DEV" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
But as you can see, doesn't help a novice like myself, as it appears to be command options to run the "integration" package.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
SQL Server 2012 :: Purge Process On A Large Table
Jan 9, 2014I am attempting to do a rather simple purge task on a very large table. This task will need to take place daily and delete records older than 6 months out of the database. On first pass this will delete well over 130 million rows. I thought the best way to handle this is create a proc and call the proc from a SQL Agent Job that runs nightly. Here is an example of the script:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_Purge_WCFLogger
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
EXEC sp_rename 'dbo.logs', 'logs_work'
GO
SELECT * INTO dbo.Logs_Backup FROM dbo.Logs_Work WHERE TIMESTAMP < DATEADD(month, -6, GETDATE())
[Code] .....
Massive Bulk Delete / Data Purge Problem
Jan 28, 2008I've got a large MS Sql Server 2000 database that has 15 indexes, with roughly 180 million rows representing 240 GB worth of data. Due to the massive size of the database we are trying to purge it down to a smaller dataset, about 40 million rows, in order to speed up the query performance and to be able to defrag the indexes (which are 30-50% fragmented). To complicate the matter, this table is also a publisher in a transactional replication setup, with one subscriber. Also, the system needs to be up constantly so I'm only allowed about a 3-5 hour period to take an outage a week.
So far I've tested several methods of delete following all best practices (batch deletes, using indexes in delete's where clause), and have come up with deleting/commiting 500 rows at a time. The problem is that it still takes 3-4 seconds to delete this many rows, on a 8 GB RAM, 4 processor machine that is not currently used or replicated.
I'm at a loss on a way to pare down the data with a delete as the current purge script will take 7 hours a day for about 3 months. Another option I'm considering is to do a truncate and copy the data back over from the replicated database, but again this has its own set of problems, i.e. network latency and slow inset times. Yet another option would be to create a replica of the table on the production db, copy the data to it, then rename the table.
Any one have experience with purging such a massive amount of data? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
