lete Records You can delete records (database items
downloaded from the DEFINITY system and
stored on a PC) to prevent your hard disk from
becoming overloaded with data.
You will probably want to archive this data
before you delete it from your hard disk.
You can choose the type of records that you want
to delete:
• Interval data only
• Daily data only
• Both interval and daily.
You can delete all of the data selected according
to the
• date on which it was stored
• length of time it has been stored.
In the latter case, you can order that records
stored more than a given length of time be
deleted daily.
CAUTION: The importance of performing
periodic backup of your database
cannot be overemphasized. To
protect the integrity of your database,
you must schedule frequent backups
on a regular basis.
