After doing many mods on osCommerce, my mind became numb. Sometimes I dream with silly php code problems. And yet, I'm so hooked to it! :P

 

A question came up to me...what if order records start piling up in a year...what is best way to safely remove "old" order records out of SQL database? Then whenever I need revisit an old order record, I could view it/print it?

 

Let's say I have 5 years worth of old order records safely pulled out of SQL database, what is quick way to search a record by customer's name or by order number?

 

I know you can export SQL table into SQL format or XLS format...

 

With SQL format...would be ideal for backup...but I wouldn't want to put 5 years of old records back into SQL, mixing with new records just to be able to view an old record...

 

With XLS format...I don't think I would be able to see clean view of order record like you would see on Admin side after clicking 'edit' or 'invoice' button...

 

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks!
