Any warnings/caveats regarding use of strsql to delete very old part numbers out of the database -e.g., IIM/CIC/HPO/MBM/ITH/ECH/ECL/FSO/FOD/FRT .....???
Don, the warnings might be different depending upon which release the
data resides. I'll assume that you've done a full interrogation of the
database looking for every file that stores a part number field.
Warnings off the top of my head:
1) Complete data analysis (usually it's sales) can no longer be
performed on historical data due to missing information.
2) Some times people don't investigate fully the chain reaction impact
of deleting a part number that resides in the BCHLD field in MBM.
What we did when we split data out when a portion of the business became
it's own entity, we set the record id codes to their current values but
in lower case. Then we let the data sit for a number of months, and
then we started deleting.
