I have a table that will recieve about 2000 inserts per day, Although
it will technically never be dead data, about 99.999% of it will be
uninteresing after 30-40 days, My problem is that I dont know if I
should create a new table that is a history table or add a indexed field
and ignore the data in queries unless someone asks for it. The latter is
my prefered way of dealing with it, Is there something Im missing? Is
there another way to do this?
Any Suggestions are appreciated.
