Abstract: A computer-implemented method for storing data in multiple stages may include (1) establishing an initial storage period for regulatory compliance and a subsequent storage period for business reference, (2) storing data during the initial storage period for regulatory compliance, (3) upon expiration of the initial storage period, stripping rich content from the data while preserving text content in the data, and (4) storing the stripped data during the subsequent storage period for business reference. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for maintaining aggregate tables in databases may include (1) maintaining a database that comprises a primary table of data, an intermediate mapping table of metadata from the data in the primary table, and an aggregate table, (2) for each new item of data received during a time period, updating the primary table with the new item of data and updating at least one row in the intermediate mapping table with metadata from the new item of data, and (3) at the end of the time period, updating the aggregate table with an aggregation of the metadata based on the metadata stored in the intermediate table. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
