# Manipulations with Table TTL
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
If you are looking for details on using TTL for managing old data, check out the [Manage Data with TTL](/docs/en/guides/developer/ttl.md) user guide. The docs below demonstrate how to alter or remove an existing TTL rule.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
## MODIFY TTL
|
|
|
|
You can change [table TTL](../../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md#mergetree-table-ttl) with a request of the following form:
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
ALTER TABLE [db.]table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] MODIFY TTL ttl_expression;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## REMOVE TTL
|
|
|
|
TTL-property can be removed from table with the following query:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
ALTER TABLE [db.]table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster] REMOVE TTL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
Consider the table with table `TTL`:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
CREATE TABLE table_with_ttl
|
|
(
|
|
event_time DateTime,
|
|
UserID UInt64,
|
|
Comment String
|
|
)
|
|
ENGINE MergeTree()
|
|
ORDER BY tuple()
|
|
TTL event_time + INTERVAL 3 MONTH
|
|
SETTINGS min_bytes_for_wide_part = 0;
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO table_with_ttl VALUES (now(), 1, 'username1');
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO table_with_ttl VALUES (now() - INTERVAL 4 MONTH, 2, 'username2');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `OPTIMIZE` to force `TTL` cleanup:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
OPTIMIZE TABLE table_with_ttl FINAL;
|
|
SELECT * FROM table_with_ttl FORMAT PrettyCompact;
|
|
```
|
|
Second row was deleted from table.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
┌─────────event_time────┬──UserID─┬─────Comment──┐
|
|
│ 2020-12-11 12:44:57 │ 1 │ username1 │
|
|
└───────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now remove table `TTL` with the following query:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
ALTER TABLE table_with_ttl REMOVE TTL;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Re-insert the deleted row and force the `TTL` cleanup again with `OPTIMIZE`:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
INSERT INTO table_with_ttl VALUES (now() - INTERVAL 4 MONTH, 2, 'username2');
|
|
OPTIMIZE TABLE table_with_ttl FINAL;
|
|
SELECT * FROM table_with_ttl FORMAT PrettyCompact;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `TTL` is no longer there, so the second row is not deleted:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
┌─────────event_time────┬──UserID─┬─────Comment──┐
|
|
│ 2020-12-11 12:44:57 │ 1 │ username1 │
|
|
│ 2020-08-11 12:44:57 │ 2 │ username2 │
|
|
└───────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────────┘
|
|
```
