    Does anyone know how I can use a SQL statement to delete records older than say 1 hour?

    I've got 1000 records all stamped with a Date and 24/h Time in the "lastupdate" field of this database on MS SQL server.

    What I am wanting to do is delete any record older than 1 hour... does anyone know how I can do this without creating a recordset and checking each row?

    Prompt response would be greatly apprecieated!

    Don't do it! Let's talk this thru now ...

    The SQL statement should look something like this:

    DELETE FROM MyTable
    WHERE DATEDIFF (hh, lastupdate, GETDATE()) > 1
    "It's cold gin time again ..."
