Delete rows automatically

Please Help!!!

I am doing my project and need help urgently.

Anyone know how to delete a row from database automatically, for eg after 60 days.

Thank for helping...:confused:

In Enterprise Manager,schedule a job which will run 60 days later.
In the steps ,put T-SQL to make the deletion
In schedule ,let it run one time ,you should specify the date of it.
Make sure your SQL Server Agent is running under the correct account.(which has access of the task you are going to execute)

Claire has given you step by step instructions for SQL Server.

If you are using any other database, you can use the concept and implement it. Unless you are using Access where you don't have a built in scheduler, in that case you have to write a module and let it start everytime access database is opened, check the date and delete old rows.

Or write a small program to delete old rows and schedule it on windows scheduler.

I'm using Microsoft SQL 2000.
Can I use ASP codes instaed of SQL(Job Scheduling)?

You can. But you need a way to run asp page every day to delete last 60 days data unless you plan to run it manually.

There will be a server running it everyday. But I don't know the codes so anyone can help.

You need a datetime column in each table you want to delete. This column should contain the insertion/update date for the row.

Then you can write delete statements for each table like

delete from table1 where datediff(d,mydate,getdate()) > 60

where mydate is the column in your table1.

Or if you want to make it dynamic you can build a cursor with all the user tables and run delete on them.
