Question

I am using the Change Tracking feature, and I can see change history by using:

select * from CHANGETABLE

And now I want to delete a row from CHANGETABLE. How do I do that?

Answer 1

When you set up Change Tracking you specify the retention period and cleanup options:

ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
SET CHANGE_TRACKING = ON
(CHANGE_RETENTION = 2 DAYS, AUTO_CLEANUP = ON);

Data will be removed from the CHANGETABLE after the retention period has expired, if auto cleanup is enabled.
