Incidentally, Brent is a SQL Jedi Master, and one of the people I go to with SQL issues. If you use the select into statement, don't forget to use a Drop Table statement on your temporary table afterward to clean up. Otherwise, you may run into problems when you migrate Made2Manage. At the very least, it will show up when you run the "ObjectCheck SQL Script" prior to migration. Thanks Brent, I completely forgot to mention that.

Junior DBAs out there - if you want to be safe, instead of doing a DELETE statement, do this: SELECT * INTO M2MDATAXX.DBO.MyNewArchiveTableName FROM M2MDATAXX.DBO...... That "Into" will take the records and insert them into a new table with the table name you've chosen. That way, you've got a backup table that will keep yourself safe in case you accidentally delete things you need later. Good advice.
