We'll be taking a brief break from [Elementary Statistics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3C8s3gcQ4c&list=PLHHm85xMQAYOLXgntV0iday2ruDV8Ywik) series on [SQL In Six Minutes](https://www.youtube.com/user/sqlinsix) with a video about [archiving data](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nsdO22m0_Y).   In addition to receiving a recent question about this issue from some developers, we should consider when, how and why we plan to archive data.  In addition to security and what I call *research stupidity*, we must consider the limitations of our environment and the desire of our clients.  Our clients determine what we want ultimately - **we do not**.  When it comes to tech, some of what we're doing is designing for the client, regardless of whether we see value or not.  

In the video, I use an example of a situation I don't see value with, but I point out it's about what the user wants to see - derived data carries little meaning, as we can derive it from the set, but we still need to save the data that make the derivative possible.  I link to three other videos I've done in the past that address archiving data.

If you're interested data, I teach the course [Automating ETL](https://www.udemy.com/automatingetl/), which teaches you how to get data easily so that you can quick analyze data in meaningful ways.  If you're looking for a short introduction to T-SQL (a SQL language), check out fast-paced course [T-SQL In Two Hours](http://skl.sh/1qEoLmv).
