We have the problem of a database growing larger every day which is causing it to slow down. We want to keep old data though. Would a possible solution be to rename the database something like DatabaseName2013 and create a new database with the old DatabaseName? The archive database would only be used for reports. Just wondering if this idea would be easier to implement than Transactional Replication or Partitioning the table by year.
Thanks,
Fred
