# Full Query Retirement

## What is happening?

GRAX is retiring the Full Query functionality in favor of the newer, faster Query WHERE capability.

* **October 31st, 2025**: All archives in **GRAX sandbox environments** will be transitioned to Query WHERE.
* **November 14th, 2025**: All archives in **GRAX production environments** will be transitioned to Query WHERE.

## Why is this happening?

GRAX has made significant improvements to optimize archive performance. Query WHERE provides several key benefits:

* Automatically determines the optimal batch size
* Delivers faster archive performance
* Reduces timeout errors

## How does this impact me?

You’ll continue archiving the same records as before — just faster and more efficiently.

Our team will handle the transition from Full Query to Query WHERE archives for you. No action is required on your part.

## Timing

GRAX support for Full Query ends on **November 14th, 2025**.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I still add a LIMIT to my Query WHERE archives?

Yes, but please note that adding a LIMIT may reduce performance, as Query WHERE automatically adjusts batch size based on system conditions.

### How do I get more information?

If you have any questions or would like more details, please open a support ticket with our team.
