I have a problem, I have a 3 tables.
Residents
Programs
Attendance
i am tracking which Residents came to which programs.
I have 12 programs a day that 160 Residents attended and do this 7 days a week
so
12 X 160 = 1920 records in the attendance table per day
1920 X 30 = 57000 Records per month.
the size of the attendance table is getting huge. Is there any suggestion as to ways to "cut the fat" ...
P.S. I have to keep these records for 7 years
so in 7 years 4 838 400 records before i can start removing some.
I thought of archiving them but i can't figure out how to archive just a specific bunch.. since the date is attached to the program not the attendance
thanks for any help
