Tank Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Registered members may now use the search feature again. Apologies for the frustration this caused, but this was the only short-term move we could think of to keep the forums alive at the time. As you may or may not be aware, topics that have not had replies within the past 2 months have been moved to an archive. The plan is to make this archive read-only on a fully-searchable separate dedicated forum, so it does not affect the performance of the main forums. A facility to allow moderators to easily move specific topics from the archive forum to the main database is currently being developed.

Svip Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 And just how exactly are you going to get the data moved between two databases? I am not quite familiar with such an aproach. And mostly if they are on two seperated servers. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/198700-searching-re-enabled-archives/#findComment-2922081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 And just how exactly are you going to get the data moved between two databases? I am not quite familiar with such an aproach. And mostly if they are on two seperated servers. The topic/posts will be physically moved from one DB to another. The archive forum will be completely separate from the current GTAForums. Transferring is easy; SELECT the data from the archive database based on the topic ID #, INSERT the topic/post(s) into the main database, and finally DELETE the topic/post(s) from the archive database.
