Looking for some ideas around archiving 2 tables that we have, seem to be growing too fast than we had expected.
Below are the 2 tables with columns of interest listed.

event -- ev_id, ev_time, other cols
event_dtls -- ev_id, other cols

I wish we had ev_time to be date or timestamp data type, unfortunately it's NUMBER with date/time stored in Milli-Seconds since epoch, for e.g. 1372091857723 translates to 6/24/2013 18:37:37.

We want to archive events older than 6 months from both tables, however the ev_time stored in milli-seconds make it challenging.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steven.
