Purpose
As of Jira 7.10+, Data Center introduced the ability to archive projects. This article shows how you can identify archived and unarchived projects via a database SQL query.
Solution
SQL Query for getting a list of archived projects:
SELECT pe.property_key,p.* FROM propertyentry pe
JOIN project p on pe.entity_id=p.id
WHERE property_key = 'jira.archiving.projects';Example Results:
jira7135=# select pe.property_key,p.* from propertyentry pe join project p on pe.entity_id=p.id where property_key = 'jira.archiving.projects';
property_key | id | pname | url | lead | description | pkey | pcounter | assigneetype | avatar | originalkey | projecttype
-------------------------+-------+------------+-----+-------+-------------+-----------+----------+--------------+--------+-------------+-------------
jira.archiving.projects | 10001 | archive me | | admin | | ARCHIVEME | 1 | 3 | 10324 | ARCHIVEME | business
jira.archiving.projects | 10100 | archiveme | | admin | | ARCME | 1 | 3 | 10324 | ARCME | business
(2 rows)To only get the projects, that are not archived you can use the following SQL query
SELECT * FROM project p
WHERE
p.id NOT IN (select entity_id from propertyentry where property_key = 'jira.archiving.projects');SQL Query for getting a timestamp of archived projects:
jira533=# select p.pname,pd.propertyvalue from propertyentry pe, propertydate pd, project p where pe.property_key = 'jira.archiving.projects.date' and pe.entity_id=p.id and pe.id=pd.id;
pname | propertyvalue
