You're quite right!

Did did a compress/repair today and got the database bown to 90MB,we're going to delete moast of the old posts and some expired userstomorrow so hopefully the database will be brought down to <30MBwhich will have to do for a few weeks until we can get the system usingMS SQL instead.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and help Clap

as long as you close the forum first then download, use Compact and repair and re uplaod.

you ca ntry the one in the admin area but people seem to have problems with it.

i had to read that twice 220 meg. thats why they don't want it on theserver. a couple people on the site and thats half a gig of ram taken.as Access is a flat file. and has to load all of it

Just got ftp access the access database is 220MB!
I assume that i can just open it up using access on my pc, run the compression wizard and then upload it to the webserver again and it will run without any problems?]]> Wed, 11 May 2005 07:53:41 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/my-forum-has-been-removed-by_topic14996_post82866.html#82866 <![CDATA[My forum has been removed by............ : it might be that fasthosts have...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/my-forum-has-been-removed-by_topic14996_post82864.html#82864 Author: dj air

it might be that fasthosts have just started getting onto them.

but they should really have asked him to sort the problem within x days else it will be suspended.


in desperation...lol.. i would also do a Compact & Repair on the database. when there is access to it.

MSSQL is the only option i would say.

because with what you are saying you would need to empty very regular.

also the search engine is not disable able unless yopu code it yourself. but that wont do that much really .. as its as a whole to big.
 
Thanks,
 
we're aware that we need to move over to ms sql, but these will only be a stopgap measure in desparation to get the hosting company off our backs in the meantime, hope to upgrade asap!
 
We just find it stange that the hosting company have only justed picked up on this when the forum has been running in its current state for about a ywear now. Oh well....Confused
