Hi Jaime,
- $timestamp is as follows: MMDDhhmmss (ie: 1970010100)
- average rows to delete each month: a couple of hundred at most
- needs: garbage collection, avoid storing old data no longer useful
- automation: none, as my knowledge here is rather scarce so I'd do this by
hand for now.
Please share the data type of $timestamp (normaly mysql tables should use
the timestamp data type, but mediawiki uses strings, requiring some
conversion). Also provide how many rows you intend to delete and what are
the needs (e.g. avoid large deletes- for which there are specific tools
like
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
I do too run from time to time a query like yours: "DELETE FROM logging
WHERE l_timestamp < 2018020100;" for example; however I have to
manually set the timestamp. Ideally we should perhaps move to have a coded
garbage collector on our tool instead of doing this
That should technically work, but you want to be sure you have the timestamp
column indexed.
Based on what I’m seeing, it looks as if you mixed PHP in there.
Here’s how my garbage collector works for my IABot interface.
