Hi All - I was just wondering if there is any tips or tricks to managing large databases? I mean the DB is about 500MB right now and growing every day. I know that the site performance is proportionate to the servers and all that, but how much does DB size play into it? Also, when it gets REALLY BIG, is there a way to split it in two without screwing up the whole board? I just worry that eventually my board performance will suffer because of this. Any help you all can provide would be AWESOME!! Oh I am using MySQL...
I don't know much about forums, but if you have cPanel you might have PHPMyAdmin available. This allows you to manage your database manually if you know what you are doing.
