Database Maintenance Module Author: David Kent Norman http://deekayen.net/ DESCRIPTION ----------- Runs an OPTIMIZE TABLE query on selected tables for MySQL. This should probably NOT be used to optimize every table in your Drupal installation. http://drupal.org/node/91621 is an example where the table locking during the OPTIMIZE procedure could interfere with basic functionality of your site. Keep it down to tables where there is lot of data movement like accesslog, history, or watchdog. It's probably better to make a separate, more infrequent cron as part of your regular server management if you want to optimize your node tables. DEPENDENCIES ------------ MySQL INSTALLATION ------------ See INSTALL.txt in this directory. MORE INFORMATION ---------------- This module is by no means intended to be only for MySQL forever. If PostgreSQL has an OPTIMIZE TABLE equivalent, it should be on the TODO list for this module. Other possible TODO list items include some sort of backup dump saver/emailer/ftp/etc.
