Re: Database backend is growing!

Hi !

May be you're taking into account the 'log.000000000x' files in your db
directory, which are not really part of the database. These files should be
periodically purged (with caution !)

You can refer to the db_archive command at
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/utility/index.html
You may also have a look at the mailing list archives. Try for example
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200207/msg00498.html

HTH,

Bruno
