I want to delete records from a db table based on a time-stamp for each record. I would like to have it automatically delete records compared to a date/time interval without user intervention or admin intervention.
What would be the best way to go about this, I could create a process that runs in the background that does checks but that is extra work I want to avoid? Is there any libraries/web services I could use as templates?
SQL Server Agent can do this for you.
Simply create a job with a regular schedule and the SQL you want to run. There is an easy to use wizard interface for job creation.
