Hey Guys,

I've figured out that the history isn't purging on my site.  The schedules are generatign errors.  I took a look at www.mitchelsellers.com/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/121/determing-sql-server-table-size.aspx and followed the steps and came up with this: www.mrjanitorialsupplies.com/data_export.htm

Could someone help me figure out how to remove the history and event log so the database size isn't so huge?  It's currently at 0.17 GB, and this increased from 25 mb.

Thanks In Advance,

 

Chris

Well, I temporarily solved the issue by manually deleting the table data using the command:  DELETE FROM EventLog; at least the event viewer module works again, my database went from 25 to 0.17 gb in the course of 2 weeks, incredible.  I hope it doesn't happen again.

 

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?  I disabled the scheduling and event recording.  Hopefully that solves the problem.

I run this SQL query regularly to keep my db under control:

truncate table EventLog
go
truncate table ScheduleHistory
go
truncate table SiteLog
go

This query clears the tables and since it doesn't record the transaction in SQL Server - it is an instant operation.  You must have db_owner privleges to use this though.

Thanks for the response ETM Penning,

Looks like a good query to hold on to.  Much appreciated.  Will try this out next time if needed
