Topic: database size

a few days ago i install fresh punbb forum, when i login as administrator, on first admin page i saw server load, punbb version info and so all. But i was surprised when i saw database size, it was about 20mb... when i login in your punbb demo as admin, the size of databe is normal, about 400kb.  Then i checked mysql and i find, that memory table takes all these 20MB. Why? Why in demo version everything is ok?

Re: database size

I remember about this trouble: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/ … base-size/

Could you post in that topic the operation system, PHP and database versions installed on your server, please?

I suppose the issue appears in some old versions of MySQL.

i found this

i changed online table from MEMORY to MyISAM and it helps.
i hope this trick don't affect forums work...

Re: database size

That discussion doesn't tell us why the MEMORY table in some special cases takes a lot of diskspace.

Maybe you'd try to ask your hosting support.
