    My 4.0 database is becoming quite large and I was hoping to upgrade to 5.0
    Godaddy wont let me export and import due to size.
    Is there a way to make a new database and make the new posts work with the new database, without effecting the previous posts.

    Any ideas would be nice.

  • The first question has to be – why is your database getting too large? Sites with thousands of posts and comments can still be small in terms of database size, so establishing the reason it is large might a good starting point.

    18.5 MB
    Perhaps that is not to large, im not sure.
    the database is 4.0 and the latest is 5.0

    18.5mb is large.

    Next question then – are you running some kind of logging system through your database, for instance a spam plugin that logs events?

    yes i am.

    Ok, so have you looked at the tables in your database to see if any of them are logs that are being saved?

    How many tables do you have altogether in your database? Which table/s are the biggest?

    I finally solved my problem with having a large database.
    Here is what I did.
    The plug-in Spam Karma 2 was deactivated and deleted by FTP.
    But the tables still existed in the SQL.
    I downloaded and installed this Plug-in: WP-DBManager 2.20
    It made it easy to empty and drop tables from the database.
    I Dropped:
    sk2_blacklist
    wp_sk2_logs
    wp_sk2_spams

    I also dropped:
    wp_alinks_keyphrases
    The aLinks plugin never worked correctly anyway.
    Here is what I am left with: (NO OVERHEAD!!)

    Total: 5.4 MB 2.9 MB 0 bytes

    Since I need something to catch my spam I activated the latest version of Akismet
    You may be asked for your API Key..easy to get. Just open an account at WordPress

    You could just empty those huge tables – and next time set those plugins to autodelete all that junk periodically.
