Hi
   
  I want some opinion on Purging solution. I had an application which contains 
lots of table dependent on Foreign key relation. We had a application that can 
be used to purge the data as an when required which is basically copying the 
data into the Temp table(s) and then delete the data from all other depending 
object. This is good as long as we are specifying some not very high number of 
records. If the table is very big like close to terabyte, it is not possible 
due to slow performance of the above process.
   
  Partioning is also not possible due to lots of dependencies and don't carry 
partitioning license
   
  Cannot make the DB in nologging as it is forced on DB level due to Standby 
server as well as some stream setup
   
  This is 10g Database and so any good option for Purging/Archiving that can 
save lots of CPU cycles
   
  TIA
  Sanjay
