Delete from a table based on date

You could use:

DELETE FROM tableName
where your_date_column < '2009-01-01';

but Keep in mind that the above is really

DELETE FROM tableName
    where your_date_column < '2009-01-01 00:00:00';

Not

 DELETE FROM tableName
        where your_date_column < '2009-01-01 11:59';

Delete data that is 30 days and older

   DELETE FROM Table
   WHERE DateColumn < GETDATE()- 30

delete from YOUR_TABLE where your_date_column < '2009-01-01';

This will delete rows from YOUR_TABLE where the date in your_date_column is older than January 1st, 2009. i.e. a date with 2008-12-31 would be deleted.

This is pretty vague. Do you mean like in SQL:

DELETE FROM myTable
WHERE dateColumn < '2007'
