    Emptying the umbracoLog table

    Hi

    My umbraco database is getting massive, due to lots of stuff being written to the umbracoLog table.

    If I were to do a "delete from umbracoLog" would it have a negative impact on my site at all?

    Many thanks

    Shaun

    Hi Shaun,

    Only negative would be that it takes a while and lots of Timeouts can occur. I would Use "Truncate Table umbracoLog"  which just clears the table.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Don't flat-out delete the log table. The log table is where the audit trail comes from ;)

    Doh - ignore this - truncate means delete :)

    Is it ok to just delete old logs from umbracoLog - ones from previous years (no longer needed)?

    You can use my ClientTools4Umbraco where you can filter the logs by name, date, etc. and then you can delete the selected logentries
