Hi,I am getting ready to start a project where I am charged with moving out old data from production into a newly created historical DB. We have about 8 tables that are internal audit tables, that are big and full of old data. These tables are barely used and are taking up way too much space and time for maintenance.I would like to create a way (SSIS?) to look at the date field in each of the 8 tables and copy out anything older than two years into my newly created history DB. Then deleting the older records from the source DB. I don't know if SSIS is the best method to use. If it is, what containers to use to move over data, then how to do delete from source?Can I do the mass deletes on my audit source tables without impacting performance/indexes/fragmentation?
