delete rows prior to a set date

Hello,

for GDPR reasons I have to remove old records from the F&L stored data rows. What options exist to do that? Is there perhaps a DB query that I can run, please?

Regards

Franco

Franco,
how do you identify the "old" records to remove?

Hi Sebastian,

by date? Is there a record creation date?

Re: delete rows prior to a set date

yes, but it is stored serialized in UserDefinedData Table.
I suggest downloading my TurboScripts (see my signature) and open TurboDNN920.sql file.
Search for E3. Form & List Module section, copy the whole section and execute inside Host > SQL (DNN9: Settings > SQL)

if you execute UserDefinedTable_Results [moduleID], it will return all rows of a module.
You may use a statement like
DELETE FROM UserDefinedData
WHERE UserDefinedRowID IN (SELECT UserDefinedRowID FROM vw_UserDefinedTable_Data WHERE FieldTitle = 'created at' and ModuleID = [moduleID])

(replace moduleid with your module id

Well, that's awesome, thanks. I run the script and can actually see the udt results. Just on the delete statement can you give me an example how to delete all records prior to a certain date, such 1 january 2017, please? I am a bit lost on where to put the where clause, that's a too advanced query for me ;)

Thanks again

Franco
