Hello All,

I was looking for some assistance for the following problem being an SQL Novice.

I have an application that logs web usage on a Proxy Server to an SQL Table, it creates a record for every hit. This table has become very large. I would like a script or procedure that would extract the previous days entries and insert into a new table. The table name should be the corresponding date of the records.

Any Help greatly appreciated

Having a new table for each day is not a good design. It makes history lookups very complex to write.

If you want to keep the size of the log table under control, create a history table that you move the old data to. If you need to use multiple tables to make your history tables easier to manage, use a Partitioned table or view.
