What is Data purging?

Answer Posted / purva

Occasionally, it is necessary to remove large amounts of
data from a data warehouse. A very common scenario is the
rolling window discussed previously, in which older data is
rolled out of the data warehouse to make room for new data.

However, sometimes other data might need to be removed from
a data warehouse. Suppose that a retail company has
previously sold products from Company ABC, and that Company
ABC has subsequently gone out of business. The business
users of the warehouse may decide that they are no longer
interested in seeing any data related to Company ABC, so
this data should be deleted.
This process is data purging.
