Question about article_plain table.

Post by sashkr »

For less than 8 month otrs database grew up to 17 GB.
'article_plain' table has 8900 MB in size.
Next one is 'article_attachment' table - 6400 MB.
All other tables are less than 300 MB in size.

After inspecting OTRS's source code I didn't find intensive use of 'article_plain' table.
This topic approve my guess:

It seems if I will delete all records from this table I will not be able to switch article storage only.
That looks fine for me. But I would like to have backup plan.
Is there any tools which can regenerate 'article_plain' from 'article' and 'article_attachment' tables?

I don't know any tools. I still recommend to keep this table as designed. To reduce your database size you could switch ArticleStorage from DB to FS.
But the disk usage won't be affected.

Use a test system - always.
