Script need for dropping databases
Hi, I have a linux box running mysql plus phpmyadmin which has tables getting montly data and when a new month starts a new table is created. I want to store only 2 years of data so when a new month starts i need to drop the table which became the data container of 2 years previous data. So to make this job auto, i need a linux/mysql script which will run on cron etc . Can you please help me for a correct script ? (i cant say im a database guy :-) Regards -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

Hi unknown, Have a look at database information_schema.TABLES: SELECT * FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='database'; As long as your MySQL version is = 5.1, you don't need a cron script, you can use the MySQL scheduler, create a stored procedure that will run each month. You'll need to use prepared statements, something like this: http://gpshumano.blogs.dri.pt/2009/09/06/automatically-cleaning-up-spam-wordpress-comments/ -NT Em 18-11-2011 08:02, a bv escreveu: Hi, I have a linux box running mysql plus phpmyadmin which has tables getting montly data and when a new month starts a new table is created.
