How to delete rows from an input dataset and replace the dataset


I was trying to use SQL transformations, but I cannot make the output dataset the same as the input dataset. Could someone help?

The solution is a partial recurive flow but in your case, you aren't maintaining history rather, delete/replacing the input with the output.
I've created a flow to demonstrate how you can do this using simple SQL flows adding a constant that will distinguish which rows are obsolete vs. not.
Let me know if this helps.
Test Data
Include a flag/constant that will help you distinguish which rows are obsolete
Choose the Custom SQL
Delete rows which are Obsolete
use this output as your new input

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I did not know about the DELETE command, and that was very helpful.
While this is a significant improvement from what I thought I could do, there's still this issue that remains:
The new data that comes in is never obsolete. Its only after a certain time that it becomes obsolete. That means that I cannot instantly do operations on incoming data, rather I have to store it in a dataset, and keep running delete statements on that to remove unwanted data.
So while my end output in purged, there is this huge dataset in the middle that I still have to maintain.
Any idea on how I can reduce the size of the middle dataset as well?
