Delete from a table based on date

Question

Hi,

Can anyone help me with the script which will delete the data older than the particular date.

Thanks

Answer 1

delete from YOUR_TABLE where your_date_column < '2009-01-01';

Answer 2

This is pretty vague. Do you mean like in SQL:

DELETE FROM myTable
WHERE dateColumn < '2007'

Answer 3

Delete data that is 30 days and older

   DELETE FROM Table
   WHERE DateColumn < GETDATE()- 30

Answer 4

or an ORACLE version:

delete
  from table_name
 where trunc(table_name.date) > to_date('01/01/2009','mm/dd/yyyy')

Answer 5

You could use:

DELETE FROM tableName
where your_date_column < '2009-01-01';

but Keep in mind that the above is really

DELETE FROM tableName
    where your_date_column < '2009-01-01 00:00:00';

Not

 DELETE FROM tableName
        where your_date_column < '2009-01-01 11:59';
