Comments - System-Versioned Tables

Is there a way to delete history for a specific record? I have a situation where once I delete a record, I'm under contract to remove all records (including historical ones). I don't see that anywhere here.

No, sorry. This is exactly the scenario that system versioning is supposed to prevent. The history is immutable.

Having said that, two more points:

  • you can make one particular column (that stores your sensitive data) non-versioned using WITHOUT VERSIONING clause
  • we might, in a future version, allow direct editing of timestamp fields (very limited, but still). then you'll be able, for example, to insert...select all data excluding that one record and get a new table without that one row.
