If someone implements the Table Maintenance part, I think it should be
configurable by Level and also by expiration date and/or maximum number
of rows.

Hi Howard,

As far as I know, you have to roll your own. What I did (probably not
the only way) is add a Job to the SQL Server Agent to execute the
following T-SQL command every hour:
DELETE
FROM <tablename>
WHERE [date] < DATEADD(Hour, -12, GETDATE())

This will delete all entries older than 12 hours. Of course, the [date]
field might differ per configuration. In my particular case I needed to
save the date and time as two separate strings to support legacy code.
My command is therefor slightly more complicated :) But it works well.

I would love to know if there is a better way of doing this. Also, a
configuration setting in log4net would be great! If I had the time I
would try my hand at it myself. Being able to limit either the age of
entries or the number of rows would be a godsend. Maybe (but that would
be pushing it a
bit) it would even be possible to 'relog' the soon-to-be-deleted rows to
a FileAppender or SmtpAppender.

Mmmm..coolness..

Anyway, hope this helps,
Erik

Is there support for programmatically flushing the buffer?

Is there support for deleting records in the SQL table that are older
than a
specified amount (to keep the table from growing without bounds) or do I
need to roll my own?
