Cleaning up old runs in a product, does it remove old review statuses?

[jimis]

Hello, in one product I have thousands of runs since 2020.
I want to delete a lot of old runs, mainly to speed up the database.
Will review statuses persist, even if they do not exist in the remaining runs?
Is there other information I should be wary of losing?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
It depends on how the review status was set. If it's set on the GUI, then it belongs to the report hash and this information is stored in the database. For this reason, the review status set in the GUI persists.
If the review status is set by a source code comment, then it belongs to that report instance only, and will be set after the next storage either way.
If the review status is set by "CodeChecker cmd suppress", then it doesn't persist. However, this command requires a config file that should be used for each storage event in order to keep consistency. Also, we plan to deprecate this command, because it's easy to make inconsistency by using it.
