A client of mine just asked about Archiving and Purging their data (based on different time constraints). For isntance, certain data would get archived after 3 years over to a different database, others purged all together. My thoughts off the bat are store procedures run on a job schedule.

Any other thoughts or ideas?

Yes that is how we have it implemented (stored procedures and jobs). Do you have a specific question about archive/purge?

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something, like, this would be better suited for a particular 3rd party tool (if one existed).

Thanks Tara!
