#5 MySQL retain information

[Anonymous]

Edit the MySQL module so it doesn't delete the entire
machine's previous information before beginning. on a
large machine, this would 'cause the entire machine to
disappear for a couple of hours possibly.
suggestions:
possibly use timestamp, update as many as possible, and
then delete all with old timestamp?

another idea:
use an second database until the indexing is done, then
delete all from the primary database corresponding to given
machine and move data from second database to primary database.
