Jason,

1) We have around 17K of records in there, that are going back around 2
years.

2) It is possible that the stats need to be purged often, but I have already
done that. And it is switched off.

3) I do not have access to the DB from an Admin point of view, only from a
user point of view. And this needs to be an automated option that runs once
a week, nightly and left at that.

Re: Audits and Archives


Hi Andrew,

Out of curiosity how many records are in your dmArchive table? I think
the largest dmArchive table I have seen from our biggest client has
around 7000 records. I am not sure what sort of gain you would get by
truncating a table of this size. Remember this table is only populated
when you create draft objects and archive items etc.

Are you sure you just don't need to purge the stats table which can
definitely grow to a large amount if not regularly purged. If you have
space limitations I would disable stats and rely on the weblogs for
reporting purposes. Is this sql server? In which case a good starting
point is to also check the databases transaction log and consider
truncating and shrinking it. You should definitely do this if you have
just purged an extremely large stats table. A guide for truncating and
shrinking sql logs is available at:

http://www.sql-server-performance.com/fg_sql_server_agent.asp

FYI the fixrefobjects function Geoff mentioned removes orphan records
from the refobjects table.

Regards,
Jason.
