<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are working with
a bugzilla database that has been in place for about 3 years. Due to some
changes in our company's product strategy, the data from 2001 until
aooroximately summer 2004 is of minimal interest to us, and in some cases it
gets in the way. Unfortunately both the old & recent data use the same
project name in bugzilla.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have two questions:</FONT></DIV>
<OL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I run the bug status history chart, the chart
is dominated by the old un-interesting data and the recent 2004 data is
squished far to the right. Can anyone point us to where we
could find the historical data that feeds into these charts, and tell us
how to safely delete the old counts so that our graphs are not skewed by them
anymore?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are considering going one step farther and
archiving all the old bugs themselves. Is there a relatively safe way to do
this? Are there any caveats, pitfalls, reasons to think twice before plowing
ahead, etc? (or is there a safer alternative such as moving all the old ones
to a different project?)</FONT></LI></OL>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
