Hi Guys,

I have a table within my DB that's growing at a very fast rate & i need to do some maintenance to prevent constant filling of the underlying tablespace. Just one month worth of records is necessary.
This is what I have in mind.

1. Create an identical temporary table as original table
2. Insert last one month records into temp table
3. Truncate the original table
4. Insert temporary table records into original table
5. truncate temporsry table.

All of above should be in a single shell script or a PL/SQL procedure.
Does anyone have anything similar already working?

Thanks in advance...

Partition the table by month and use partitions maintenance.
And as you are in 11gR2, you can use interval partitioning so you even don't have to create the partitions just to drop (or archive) the obsolete ones.

Michel
