Variable Database

Currently running a very old version of ColdFusion (5 on a Server 2000 SP4 OS, with SQL 2000 db) and I have a problem with size on one of the variable databases (named CFIISVariables in my case and has 2 tables CDATA and CGLOBAL). It is nearly 29GB in size and currently eating up nearly all my disk space. Is there a way for me to reduce the size of the database aside from the normal shrink in SQL? It looks like data is in there from when the website was started in 2003.

Thanks

Correct answer Adam Cameron.

Those are just your client variables. I'd say it would be safe to delete all rows that are older than... ooh... a month?

There should be a setting in CFAdmin to do this for you automatically. It should be switched on.

Right now I think there are 2.2 million records in each table. I don't have a problem running a delete statement on the tables but don't see where it would do this in the Admin site. Any ideas on where to start or set this?

On CF5? No, can't remember. But in CF8 it's a setting on the Client Variables tab in CFAdmin to set the purge interval. I have no reason to think it's any different in CF5, but have not seen CF5 for about eight years.

You could always consult your documentation (or Google some up)...
