darksniperx Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have 2 tables in my database, hourlyUpdates and archiveUpdates. I would like to create a php script that would cut the data from hourlyUpdates table and append it to archiveUpdates table. The main question is how can I cut the data to be sure that i have removed only exactly what was select statment. For example, hourlyUpdates table has data a,b,c I append the data to archiveUpdates, by the time append has finished hourlyUpdates has a,b,c,d data. When I remove the data I need to be that I remove only what I have copied.

darksniperx Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Why go through all the hassle? hourlyupdate is the one where has tons of data being added to, and archiveUpdates is the one that users read to check their stats. my hourly update got too much records so its killing my db.
