help with purging and multiple screennames

[suitedeule]

hi
so first of all a BIG thx for adding selective purge as an option (finally)
i have the following problem:
i have one database with both my observed and my played hands. also i have played on 3 different platforms, on one with 2 different screennames (partypoker).
i have all my screennames under one alias (my first id on party)
soooo... to get rid of all my observed hands do i simple have to go to purge->advanced-> observed only ?
will the shown screenname include all my aliases?
is it possible to purge all observed hands but keep the ones from october?

thx in advance
eule

I believe that if you purge observed hands only it will take into account your aliases and not delete any of their hands, but I haven't actually tried this myself yet.
I'm pretty sure it'll work as you expect, but before you do any operations of this kind you should make a backup of your database, just in case. See the Database / Postgres FAQ.

Yes, one of the other support guys confirms that this works correctly as you'd expect.
