Hi,<br><br>like stephen said, use rtx-shredder and do this from the CLI, this is faster, much faster ;-)<br><br>Torsten<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2007/1/23, <a href="mailto:slushpupie@gmail.com">slushpupie@gmail.com

<br>every one of those messages. Using the bulk update for this really<br>isn't feasible at 100 per page, and the browser runs out of memory if<br>I do unlimited.<br><br>There are no other tickets in the queue, so I thought this might be a
<br>chance to just do some SQL queries directly on the database. But I<br>want to be as safe about it as I can be. I can do a query like this:<br><br>update tickets set status = 'deleted' where queue = 42<br><br>
(42 is the numeric id of the queue in question)<br>But this dosnt update the transactions table. Is that safe? It also<br>seems kind of wasteful to keep all that data around when we have no<br>need for it, so removing things from the attachments table popped into
<br>my head, but I wasnt sure how good of an idea that was either.<br><br>Has anyone ever had to deal with this? Whats the best way to move forward?<br><br>Jay<br>_______________________________________________<br><a href="http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users">
