Archive Data Instead Of Deleting It To Prevent 4GB Data Limit


We 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.

Data Archive
Hello, everyone:

What does "data archive" mean in SQL Server? Is it same thing as archiving in Oracle?

Thanks.

NOT Replicate Data Archive
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

Update Check For Actual Data Change And Archive
I'm working on an update trigger for a table that I want to archive the changes for.

I'm importing a database to this database. It will add new records and recopy prior imported records the same way. So basically every field/column is updated even if the actual data doesn't change.

I need to be able to figure out which fields had data which actually did change, and there are a lot of fields (like 100).

I got it to work on a small scale, but I didn't take into account the fact I need to check all (100 or so) fields and I need to be able to check for multiple records in the inserted/deleted tables.

I was advised to use a cursor to compare the inserted/deleted tables with a cursor and dump into a temp table. Then check for the dirty field (no idea what that is) in the temp table to copy the actual updated records into the archive table.

I'm a novice (one database class) and this is my first SQL related issue on my new job.

Any help you could give to me would be greatly appreciated.

Prevent Data Being Inserted Twice
I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime.

I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted.

If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted.

Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00.

Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?

How To Prevent DBA From Getting Confidential Data Stored In SQL Server?
Suppose I have a database storing some confidential information, such
as legal information, medical or financial records,  etc., and a
Web site with a membership system so that only authorized users can
view the information.

I understand I can encrypt the information, and the user's passwords,
so that if the database is compromised it still shouldn't be possible
for an outsider to view the confidential information.

However, what about people who have legitimate access to the database,
such as the DBA, Web developer, etc., but who should not be able to
view the confidential information?  For example, even though the
user's password was encrypted, what would stop the DBA from replacing
the user's password with his own (encrypted) password, then logging in
and viewing the user's info, then copying back the original encrypted
password?  Or, adding a new user for himself with whatever
permissions he chooses?

Deleting Data From DB
I have edited the aspnet_Users_CreateUser stored procedure so that the UserId that is created when a new user is created is copied to a UserId field in another table. However, when I use the website administration tool to delete users that have been created, it gives me an error saying the delete statement conflicted with the reference constraint. I then added the following code in the aspnet_Users_DeleteUser procedure....
IF ((@TablesToDeleteFrom & 16) <> 0 AND
(EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE (name = N'vw_tt') AND (type = 'V'))))
BEGIN
DELETE FROM dbo.userclassset WHERE @UserId = UserId
SELECT @ErrorCode = @@ERROR,
@RowCount = @@ROWCOUNT
IF( @ErrorCode <> 0 )
GOTO Cleanup
IF (@RowCount <> 0)
SELECT @NumTablesDeletedFrom = @NumTablesDeletedFrom + 1    hdhd
END
This code was then added to the function at the end which deletes the data from the aspnet_Users table when everything else has been removed
(@TablesToDeleteFrom & 16) <> 0 AND
Now when I delete a user in the website admin tool, it "deletes" (with no error) the user from the list but doesnt actually physically delete it from the database.
Any ideas?

How Do You Limit The Data That A Certain User Can See When Viewing Reports?
Hi
 
I'm new to SQL Reporting Services and I've been asked to create an online environment for a client where their customers can log on and view a report. The client wants to make sure that each customer can only see data that is relevant to them, and that other customer's information is hidden from whoever is logged on.
 
Can this be done through a username/password setup or is the solution more complex?

Deleting Data By Comparing To Another Table
I have an entry form allowing customers to enter up to 15 skus (productid) at a time, so they can make a multiple order, instead of enteringone sku, then submitting it, then returing to the form to submit thesecond one, and so forth.From time to time, the sku they enter will be wrong, or discontiued, soit will not submit an order.Therefore, when they are done submitting their 15 skus through the orderform, I want a list showing them all of those skus that came back blank,or were not found in the database.I'm doing this by creating two tables. A shopping cart, which holds allthe skus that were returned, and a holding table, that holds all theskus that were submitted. I want to then delete all the skus in theholding page that match the skus in teh cart (because they are goodskus) which will then leave the unmatched skus in the holding table.I'll then scroll out the contents of the holding table, to show them theskus that were not found in the database.(confused yet?)So what I want to do is have some sql that will delete from the holdingtable where the sku = the sku in the cart. I've tried writing this, butit dosn't work.I tiried this delete from holding_table where sku = cart.skuI was hoping this would work, but it dosn't. Is there a way for me to dothis?Thanks!Bill*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Problem Deleting Duplicate Data

Deleting Data Using Table Prefix
 

I can run a select to retrieve data using a prefix 'a' for the specific table involved. However when I try to run a delete using the same criteria it fails telling me

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1,.......Line 1

Incorrect syntax near 'a'

 

The Select statement looks like:

select count(*) from schema.table a where a.customer_id=1234

The Delete looks like:

delete from schema.table a where a.customer_id=1234

What am I doing wrong here? and how can I prefix the table, because the command I want to run is much more complicated than the example above and it needs the prefix

Hi All,
I have to delete 135 Million records from our production server, keeping only last three months data & the table doesnot have any index.
 
Can you please suggest the best possible approach to perform this activity.
 
Approach i am thinking :-
 

1)I will rename the existing table & create a new table with the same name (By this my application wont be interrupted)
2)then i am planning to create a nonclustered index on the date column sort order desc so that i can get the last three months data.
3)Once the index is created i can transfer the required records to the new table created in step 1.
 
Please sugeest your valuable feedback or suggestions to perform the task ASAP.

Deleting Data Bloats Log File
When I delete substantial amounts of data using the SQL DELETE  command, the database size apparently remains the same (702 mb) and the log file goes from about 17 mb to over 1 gig.  I was expecting for the overall size to decrease drastically, but got just the opposite. 

Is this typical?  Can I do something to slim it down?  As I am just trying to decrease the overall size to make it easier to work with when creating my application in VB, I am not worried about restoring the db (I have secure copies).

Deleting Orphaned Data - Maintenance
Hi,

I really don't know how frowned upon my approach is here, but it was the only way I have been able I've been able to do it.

On my application, when users delete their account, it sometimes brings the db server to a COMPLETE crawl. The reason is some users who delete have many years of related data, and when the data deletes with them, its very slow.

To avoid this I've taken off many contstraints, and I do have some sprocs that deleted orphaned data at night.

thoughts on this approach ?

Deleting Using SqlDataAdapter Via A Data Access Layer
I've a management module (managing Products) currently being displayed on the aspx page using ObjectDataSource and GridView control.The datasource is taken from a class residing in my Data Access layer with custom methods such as getProducts() and deleteProduct(int productID)I'm currently using SqlDataAdapter as well as Datasets to manipulate the data and have no big problems so far.However, my issue is this, each time i delete a product using the deleteProduct method, I would need to refill the dataset to fill the dataset before i can proceed to delete the product. But since I already filled the dataset using the getProducts() method, is it possible to just use that dataset again so that I dont have to make it refill again? I need to know this cos my data might be alot in the future and refilling the dataset might slow down the performance. 1 public int deleteCompany(Object companyId)
2 {
3 SqlCommand deleteCommand = new SqlCommand("DELETE FROM pg_Company WHERE CompanyId = @companyId", getSqlConnection());
4
5 SqlParameter p1 = new SqlParameter("@companyId", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier);
6 p1.Value = (Guid)companyId;
7 p1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
8
9 deleteCommand.Parameters.Add(p1);
10 dataAdapter.DeleteCommand = deleteCommand;
11
12 companyDS = getCompanies(); // <--- I need to refill this before I can delete, I would be iterating an empty ds.
13
14 try
15 {
16 foreach (DataRow row in companyDS.Tables["pg_Company"].Select(@"companyId = '" + companyId + "'"))
17 {
18 row.Delete();
19 }
20 return dataAdapter.Update(companyDS.Tables["pg_Company"]);
21 }
22 catch
23 {
24 return 0;
25 }
26 finally { }
27 }
I thank you in advance for any help here.

Deleting Data By Calling The Stored Procedure In The .NET
Hi, does anyone know how to delete data from the SQL database by
calling the stored procedure in the Visual Basic.NET? Because I did the
Delete hyperlink bounded inside a datagrid. I have already displayed
the appointment date, time in the datagrid so I do not have to input
any values inside it. These are my stored procedures code for deleting:

ALTER PROCEDURE spCancelReservation(@AppDate DATETIME, @AppTime CHAR(4), @MemNRIC CHAR(9))
AS

BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS
    (SELECT MemNRIC, AppDate, AppTime
    FROM DasAppointment
    WHERE (MemNRIC = @MemNRIC) AND (AppDate = @AppDate) AND (AppTime = @AppTime))
    RETURN -400

ELSE IF EXISTS
     (SELECT MemNRIC
    FROM DasAppointment   
    WHERE (DATEDIFF(DAY, GETDATE(), @AppDate) < 10))
    RETURN -401
ELSE
    DELETE FROM DasAppointment
    WHERE MemNRIC = @MemNRIC

END

IF @@ERROR <> 0
    RETURN @@ERROR

RETURN

DECLARE @status int
EXEC @status = spCancelReservation '2005-08-16', '1900', 'S1256755J'
SELECT 'Status' = @status

Can someone pls help? Thanks!

Reduce Table Size Without Deleting Data
We are using SQL Server 2000 Standard ed, sp4 on Server 2000 Advanced.We have one table that is three times as large as the rest of the database.Most of the data is static after approximately 3-6 months, but we arerequired to keep it for 8 years. I would like to archive this table (A), butthere are complications.1. the only way to access the data is through the application (they areimages produced by the application-built on Power-Builder)2. there are multiple tables refrencing this table and vise-versa3. we restore the entire db to two other servers for testing and trainingregularly4. there might be more complications that have not been thought ofCurrently, our only plan is to setup a seperate server with a copy of this dbon it and the application. Leave only the tables necessary to access the data,and if this 'archive' works, remove from production the data from the table Aand all references to the table A from rows on the other tables.I mentioned #3 because someone mentioned a third party tool that may be ableto pull the data from the table, archive it elsewhere, and at the same time,place a 'pointer' in the table to the new storage location. The tool theymentioned only works on Oracle and we have not explored beyond that yet.I am ready to explore ideas and suggestions; I am still new to the DBA world,I am out of ideas.Thank you!--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200607/1

Deleting Extra Tempdb Log And Data Files
We had someone create an extra data file and log file for tempdb. Sowe currently have two data files and two log files. Is it possible todelete the newly created data and log files? If I just delete thephysical files, I assume they'll get created as soon as SQL Servergets started back up. Any help would be great, since a single dataand log file for tempdb is my goal.Thanks much.sean

Deleting Large Amount Of Data From The Table......
I need to delete data from a particular table which has more than half a million records. The data needs to be deleted is more than 200,000 records from the table. What is the best way to delete the data from the table other than importing into a temporary table and performing the same operation?

Let me know if the strategy to be followed is okay.

1. Drop all the triggers
2. Drop all the indexes
3. Write a procedure with a loop setting ROWCOUNT to 1000 and delete the records. ( since if I try to delete all the rows it will give timeout error )
The above procedure will delete 1000 records for each batch inside the loop till it wipes out all the data for the specified condition.
4. Recreate Indexes and Triggers.

Please let me know if there are any other optimal solution.

Thanx,
Zombie
