Removing old Trial League Data this week at midnight and 3AM

November 02, 2009 at 06:13PM View formatted

This week we will be clearing out some old Trial League data from our database. This will happen from midnight to 1AM and also from 3AM to 4AM EST. The site may be slow or unavailable during these times, so please plan accordingly.

FYI, we are going to be deleting some data tonight. The site may be slow over the next hour.

Dammit. I was almost done. I feel like I just missed the last train of the night.

I'm doing a backup right now before I start deleting, just in case. Usually takes about 10 minutes when it's run at 3AM. After that, things might get better when I start the deleting.

That was fast. Glad it wasn't for the whole hour :)

Now the code is zipping the backup, after that I'll start deleting stuff. I'm not sure if the site will be available while I do that or not.

Alright, I have a few more things left to do on this. We'll be taking another backup of the database first, which will take about 15 minutes. During that time, the site will likely be unavailable.

Note tonight we will be running some database optimization scripts at 3AM. The site may be unavailable starting at 3AM.
