| I'm trying to implement a maintenance plan on Table B, but the problem is that Table B is linked to Table A by an ID Field. There is one record in Table A but there could be many in Table B. What's the best solution for me to delete the data in both tables if the Del_Date field in Table A is > 2years old? |

| You could create a cascade delete trigger.Probably better to just get a list of the entries from table A into a temp table delete from table B using a join (could use Table A but a temp table allows you to see what it is going to do in testing) then delete from Table A.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
