Hi,

I want to purge data automatically from my SQL DB hosted on WebWiz. Think the best way would be to create a stored proceedure, can I set a task from the 'myLittleAdmin' section that manages the database to run this SP say every 30 days?

Would there be a better way of going about this?

Cheers,

Alex

myLittleAdmin is simply a database editor allowing you to create, edit, and delete tables and stored procedures in a database, it's not able to automatically run anything.

I would suggest the best way would be to manually call a stored procedure or clean out the database once a month and then shrink the database to free up the empty space to allow it to be reused.
