Hi,

I am looking some ways to keep my database small and remove old data from database and archive it somewhere else. the data may need to be put back to the database in the future. One of the things I am conserned is how to enforce constraints? In other words, when I remove data, all the related pk/fk data should be removed together. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

one idea:

Create a copy of the database on another server.
Write stored procedures to move data to the new database and delete from primary database. You will have to use a combination of stored procedures and cascading constraints to control R.I.
