Hi ,
I have a scheduled job which does an text file import in my database . The data gets appended in my table every day from this import job .
Since my table is growing every day , i want to truncate the table after the data has been collected for three months i.e 90 days . The table will be empty and the new data will flow in through the import .
Any thoughts how to do it through query and schedule it ???
Thanks
Hello ,
I am little confused in writing the exact query i.e filling the correct details in the query .
To simplify let me explain....
I am using the query as
delete MYTABLE
where datediff(dd,loaddate,getdate())>5
I have a table now with loadate column which gets the default date and time . The loadate shows correct date and time when the data was imported in the table .
Now suppose if i want to delete previous 5 days records from today
( for e.g today is 20/08/2002 3:40:00 PM ) ideally it should delete all records which are 5 days older from today . i.e from 20/08/2002 3:40:00 PM to 15/08/2002 3:40:00 PM )
But when i execute the datediff command , it deletes the records previous than 15/08/2002 till 15/08/2002.
The records from 15/08/2002 to 20/08/2002 remain intact .
I am getting some different results .
Am i missing something in the query or i am confused about the calculation of the dates the datediff command performs .
Is the logic correct or i am missing someting important ?
Thanks and Regards

When running the following SQL statements, I get the same results.Though I need to count only -30 days. Both statements below alsoconsider the time of the day as well, which is not desiredDELETE FROM MNT_RWHERE MNT_R.TIMESTAMP < GETDATE()- 30DELETE FROM MNT_RWHERE MNT_R.TIMESTAMP < DATEADD(d, -30, GETDATE())Here is the format of the values in columnMNT_R.TIMESTAMP2005-08-09 06:06:44.5772005-08-09 06:06:46.8102005-08-09 06:06:49.060So, since data are inserted into the MNT_R table every few seconds, mydelete statement will delete different number of rows, according to thetime of the day it runs.Can you please post a SQL query that will not give me this headache?thanx a lot all

I tried using a "Foreach Loop container" with a "File System" task inside it but found I couldn't access any file properties such as the file creation date. Am I using the wrong task for this job?

P.S. History of the problem:
I used the sql 2005 Database maintenance program to setup our database backup jobs. One day I noticed that the free space on the drive where we keep the dumps had grown small. I found that we had at least 4 weeks of dumps in there, not the 3 days I wanted to keep! I looked but could not find the "delete file" option in the SSIS package generated by the Database Maintenance Wizard. No wonder the files were piling up.
If I run the below command, it clean up the files inside the folders but unable to clean up the folder and sub-folders older than 30 days. xp_ cmd shell ' forfiles -p "D:abcd" -s -m *.* -d -30 -c "cmd /c del /Q @path"'

I need to delete records from a table (Table1) which has a foreign key column in a related table (Table2).
Table1 columns are: table1Id; Name. Table2 columns include Table2.table1Id which is the foreign key to Table1.
What is the syntax to delete records from Table1 using Table1.Name='some name' and remove any records in Table2 that have Table2.table1Id equal to Table1.table1Id?

Hi there. I use MS SQL server. I would like to separate the data from one table to two tables refer to two reference tables and the following conditions:
Let say these two reference tables are called:
Table A & Table B
Group A:
1. Same date in Table A & Table B
2. Same ID in Table A & Table B (ID is not unique)
3. Same name in Table A & Table B (Name is not unique)
Combine all of these three conditions for unique identifier.
I used the following SQL code to separate the required data that match the above conditions to the new table.
(Code)
select a.Project, a.Site, a.S_number, a.Field_ID, a.Method, a.Analyte, a.Result, a.Units,
a.Qualifier, a.Dilution_Factor, a.Reporting_limit, a.Recovery_, a.Matrix, a.CAS_Number, a.Sample_Date,
a.Received_Date, a.Prep_Date, a.Analysis_Date, a.Batch_ID, a.Data_Package_num_SDG, a.Lab_Sample_ID,
a.Lab into APPL_union_exist from APPL_union_update a, Before_01012004_report b
where a.Field_ID = b.[Field Sample] and a.Sample_Date = b.Collected and a.Analyte = b.Analyte
However, I don't know how to delete the data that copied to the new table in original table, or separate that to the new table. Wish someone can help me. Thanks a lot

Hello, I'm developing application which monitors network packets. The monitoring data are saved into table. Monitoring table maintains the data for fixed quantum time,for example during one 1 hour. So, every minute before or after insert new data, I delete the time-expired data. I doubt that the endless delete operation would results in some problems(increasing index,etc..).
Is this mechanism safe to the dbms?

Short Question: How do I delete all records from a destination table prior to appending new data to that table?
I am working with a SQL database that was migrated from MS Access. All relationships, primary keys, and identity columns have been set identically to the MS Access database values. The MS Access database is still being used as the database of record until the SQL database is fully functional with front-end, etc.
I want to delete the information stored in all the SQL tables, and then append the MS Access values to the SQL tables. I was able to write delete and append queries in MS Access to correctly transfer data to the SQL tables. However, I would prefer doing this through SSIS because I have several other sources of data to move to a SQL Server database and most of those other sources are not a MS Access database.
Due to relational entegrity settings, I need to delete the records from 8 tables in a specific order. I have tried independent control objects for each of the 8 tables with data flow objects of either "OLE DB Command" or "OLE DB Source" with the SQL command as "Delete From TableName". Results of the debug indicate everything is "green" but no records were deleted fromt the tables.
Hello,
I have been serching for weeks to resolve this problem. I am new to ASP.NET and trying to make the migration from ASP which I have programmed in for years. I am using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and SQL Express Edtion. I have been working through the Microsoft Video Training at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/beginner/learningpath/ and created a web site using Tier 3 Lesson 8 as the model. My new web site which is a simple phone book applicaiton lets me read the table and select the record without any problem. But the update form lets me edit but when I attempt to Apply the update I get the following error.
Server Error in '/Phonebook' Application.
ObjectDataSource 'ObjectDataSource1' could not find a non-generic method 'Update' that has parameters: FirstName, LastName, PhoneNumber, BossGroup, Department, BossPickup, ShowInPhonebook, Type, Original_FirstName, Original_LastName, Original_PhoneNumber, Original_BossGroup, Original_Department, Original_BossPickup, Original_ShowInPhoneBook, Original_Type, Original_ItemID.
Description: An unhundled expception occured during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originiated in the code.
The Stack Trace basiclly showes the same error as above.
Also, when I attempt to delete the record I do not get an error but the record does not delete.
What is interesting is that I can add a record so I do not believe that it is a security permissions issue. I have the ISS Authinication Method Enable Anonymous Access set on with full control.
If anyone has any insight as to why this is occuring please let me know.
Hi everyone,
I have a task to create a dts package, which will delete records in a SQL table, which are present on a sheet tab in Excel. I know how to transfer records from Excel to SQL table and vice versa, but not sure how I can delete the records in SQL table, which are present in Excel. Note that there are just 2 columns - one is a key and the other name.
Thank you all in advance,

So I've stumbled across an audit table on one of our systems that has reached a hearty 180M rows in size.
The table is a heap (no indexes whatsoever).
Each record has a datetime value indicating when it was created.
I need to delete everything that was created prior to the last 6 months; what is my best plan of attack?
using below query
DELETE FROM Table_name
WHERE Date_column < GETDATE() - 30
am able to delete old records morethan 30 days, but i want to results to be saved in file.
before deleting i want to a craete a file and save the to be deleted records.
DELETE FROM [SCS_NAV2009R2_PROD].[dbo].[Payroll Ledger Entry]
gives this error
Msg 9002, Level 17, State 4, Line 1
The transaction log for database 'SCS_NAV2009R2_PROD' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
~ 7,000,000 records
now i have set the log to autogrow and set the max size to 2tb
what else can i do to get this going?

Hi Everyone,
We have a large test database with million of records for more than company site Code. Sometime we want to refresh the data of that database for one or more site Codes.
In order to do that I have to delete all records of the site code we want to refresh on the test database first then copy a new set of data from production database over. Since we refresh data based on the site code therefore I have to use the Delete command instead of Truncate.
Since this is a huge database with thousand of tables and million of records per table I have a performance issues with delete command. So what would be the best to delete a large number of records without writing any information to database log file?
FYI: The Recovery model of this database is Simple

Is there a way that I can reset the key field to 1 when using DELETE to clear a table?
(Note: if there is a separate command that I could use after the DELETE, that is fine too.)
Thank you for your help with this,

I am using a SQL Server Agent jobs that run each morning to update the records in a table to match what they should be for that day. I built them and tested it using a test table called "testtable1". It worked fine. But when I switched over to our production table, it fails saying the table has to be decaled. What would be the difference. The production table has a "@" in front of the name, is that causing issues?
