Moving data out of a partition

  • Guys i was asked this question in an interview so am gonna do the best i can to rephrase it.Here is the question;i was asked how i could move old data in terms of lets say 2 week old data out of a partition that has been created and leave the current data on the partition which would be more than 2 weeks old, i hope i have tried to phrase it the best way, can someone tell me how to do this. Any ideas are welcomed. Thank you

  • The answer to that depends completely on how the table (if we are talking table partitioning) has been partitioned, what the partitioning key is and where the partition boundaries are.
