WikiIslam:Database Compaction: Difference between revisions

Database compaction is performed periodically on the site to reduce the size of the database. This removes page revisions and only the last revision of a page is stored in the database. In other words, after a database compaction, earlier revisions of pages cannot be accessed. The creation date of a page is also lost.

Past dates for database compaction

• October 2012
• August 2008
