Applications continuously generate transactional, audit, logging, telemetry, and event data. Over time, these tables can grow to billions of rows, causing:

• Larger backups
• Longer recovery times
• Reduced buffer pool efficiency
• Slower index maintenance
• Increased storage costs
• Degraded query performance

To address these problems, organizations typically implement retention policies based on dates or timestamps. Examples include deleting events older than 90 days or purging session data older than 30 days and so forth. The deleted data can then eventually be archived somewhere else, like in another DBMS or on external files.
