Process use when you need to archive historical database records to reduce primary database size. This skill automates moving old data to archive tables or cold storage (S3, Azure Blob, GCS). Trigger with phrases like "archive old database records", "implement data retention policy", "move historical data to cold storage", or "reduce database size with archival".

# Database Archival System

## Overview

Implement automated data archival pipelines that move historical records from primary database tables to archive storage (archive tables, S3, Azure Blob, or GCS) based on age, status, or access frequency criteria.

## Prerequisites

- Database credentials with SELECT, INSERT, and DELETE permissions on source and archive tables
- Cloud storage credentials (AWS S3, Azure Blob, or GCS) if archiving to cold storage
- `psql` or `mysql` CLI for executing archival queries
- `aws s3`, `az storage`, or `gsutil` CLI for cloud storage uploads
- Understanding of data retention requirements and compliance policies (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX)
- Current table sizes: `SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('table_name'))` to identify archival candidates
