The approximate size of the data that get added to the tables is 1.5 - 2 million records and my Project Manager wants to archive the data. She wants only 6 months of data in main table and rest of the data should be archived to respective archive tables. Can anyone explain me how to archive the data in a table and what are the methods in archiving the data. Please suggest me along within an example and also explain me how to access that data which is archived later point of time when all my procedures initially referring to the main table.Thanks in advancesaiFri, 22 Aug 2008 10:28:58 GMTblnbmv
