Absolutely agree. An RDBMS is meant for massive amounts of data "so long as its efficiently stored and retrieved". That's the key factor.
Else its just like storing it in an Excel sheet if one does not pay heed to queries and the way data is retrieved.

To me - that is only for "inefficient queries" and - for the most part - even if you archive - you will still have a slow system. Do people agree with that??? And if so - isn't the right solution - to "fix the queries". I know this - archiving "roughly doubles" the reporting headaches, workflow headaches, maintenance headaches. -John On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 3:39 PM, Ben Chernys <[email protected]> wrote: ** Hi Folks, As enterprises have been using ITSM for some time now, they have accumulated Incidents, Changes, and other "root requests" that are closed, old, and can be archived. These data have slowed down searches and the ITSM application responses. Moving these data into Archive tables speeds up database search and retrieval from the high-use, active ITSM tables. ITSM Challenges BMC Remedy OOTB Archiving handles each table independently. In fact, an ITSM Incident comprises many records in many forms - a tree of dependent records. Further, if an Incident is associated with a Change that is not archive ready, then that Incident too, must not be archived.
