Time-To-Live for inserted entries with a Vertica database?

Question

Is that possible to set up a Time-To-Live for inserted entries with a Vertica database? if Yes at which level ..? table ? a entire database ? a simple entry ?

Answer 1

To my knowledge, Vertica does not have this capability. You can try using a temporary table which allows for the table to be dropped once rows are committed in a transaction.

Answer 2

Vertica does not handle this types of events native, but it can be done.

1. Use UDF's to this for you.
2. Use Talend or Pentaho to plan a job to do this task.

Advice: - Vertica does not handle well often deletes, and if you choose to do this make sure you tune up you DB well to hanlde this type of work.

Question : What is this for ? Maybe there is a better solution for it !
