I have few tables that will be getting populated with transaction data continuously.This table
grows to large size.For us once the transaction is completed we don't need the data to be in the database,
but we cannot delete them either.We need to archive those records and clear those archived records
from the table.Like out of the 3million records I want to keep this months records and archive the
remaining.There are few set of tables which needs to be archived and they are all related.

I can think of creating a new table and populating the table with records that needs to be archived and
after this those records can be deleted.Ex

create table T1 as select * from <tablename> where id < xxxx;

What is the best way of doing this.

Thanks
Ravindra
