Description

Please ask another question in #mediawiki: Is it enough to delete very old changes to get a SMALLER backup? The 67 MB of the "text"-table are to much. Question is if this is enough or if there are references to this table what should also be removed:

SELECT *
FROM text as a
WHERE a.old_title = 'Main_Page' and a.old_namespace=0 and a.old_timestamp < 20051200000000
and (SELECT count(*) FROM text as b WHERE old_title = a.old_title AND b.old_namespace =0) > 2
order by a.old_timestamp DESC

(this just deletes stuff, when 3 or more changes stay in the database)

I just wonder why 20050826162209 is the YOUNGEST timestamp in this table. Crazy! Please ask a second question: is the content in ANOTHER table?

Cheers!
Daniel

Hmm why don't you ask them yourself? Furthmore ~60Mb seems totally small. I would not delete anything on such a small database...

because of much forge-issues and not enough time ;-)

The 67 MB is a tar.gz just from that one database-TABLE "text" - and I have to download it for every backup, because I don't have an ssh-account -- so that IS much.

That is much, but not too much for a wiki. If the hoster does not do the backups, than its the wrong hoster anyway!

We don't have another hoster ;-)
