SQL Server 2005 Purge?
Jun 9, 2006
Greetings,
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?
Regards,

I 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] .....

I'm assuming that the .ldf file houses all the transaction logs, well mine is getting quite large (like 6 times the size of my .mdf) and I'm wondering if there is a way to purge logs back to a specific date. Can anyone give me some direction? Thanks

Hi 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

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?

Thanks,

Suppose 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,

Anyone have anything hints on getting the option of DELBKUP to work. I have a maintenance job that backs up the database. Also set to delete backups older than 1 day. This doesn't seem to be working.
Any thoughts.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
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

greets 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?

Hi,
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.

We have staging table in which data is dumped from files . The staging table is truncated for every load . In order to retain data from staging table we are creating staging_purge table which hold the staging data. what is the fastest way to copy data from staging to purge table without impacting the load process.

Hello,
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!
Christine

Hello all,
I hope someone can help me with a big problem... I'm using Citrix Resource Management Services with a SQL 2000 database. Their are 15 citrix servers which are all reporting to the SQL database.
The database is expanding very quickly and is becoming slower and slower.
My question is: I want to schedule a purge of old records on a friday afternoon, like this:
WEEK 1 - MON / FRI
WEEK 2 - MON / FRI (Friday's purge records week1)
WEEK 3 - MON / FRI (Friday's purge records week2)
etc...
Is this possible? if yes how do i do this !??!
Thank you very much for any info!!

I 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?

I'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!

I'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.

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
Thank you,

We have been using Sql Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 RDA synchronization method successfully on Sql Server 2000 database. Recently we moved the database to Sql Server 2005, sync doesn't work anymore, it just hangs on one table. On further investigation, we found out that it's the index on that table that causes this. We removed the index, it works fine. We are wondering the root cause, removing the index is not a solution for us. Any thoughts?. Thanks.

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

How do I upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 if I also have SQL Server 2005 Enterprise SP2 already on the same box? I installed Sql Server 2005 Enterprise first, then applied SP2, then installed Visual Studio 2008 (which installed SQL Server 2005 Express).
When I try to upgrade Sql Server 2005 Express to SP2 using the special Express edition of SP2, I get an error message that says "None of the selected features can be installed". I end up having to cancel the install of SP2.
I'm left with SQL Server 2005 at level 9.0.3054 and SQL Server 2005 Express at 9.0.3042. How can I bring SQL Server Express 2005 to the same level as SQL Server 2005 Entperprise?

Will I need to uninstall the express edition in order to install the standard edition? Can the two coexist as separate instances or will the standard edition installation simply upgrade the express installation?
Thanks
