This is my first post on this group, Hello to everyone! :) I have a problem with my H2 DATABASE. I am seriously worried by the size it is getting, it is now about 350mb (Yeah I know it's not the largest one), but my worries go all to the future and how it will scale in the long run.
Issues: - Trying to Export data as CSV using DataGrip (or any other Database Explorer) I get less than 50mb of real 'data' - Database seems filled with tons of 'unknown' data - I know the database stores indexes and such, but I tried DROPPING ALL OBJECTS, or DELETING TABLES , DELETING INFORMATION_SCHEMA just for test purpose and after all was cleaned it was around 250mb anyway. - After cleaning the whole DB which is now totally empty but still weights 250mb, the size changes after connect/disconnect, lowering abour 4mb each time - Deleting tables o creating tables and adding 1000 rows does not change file size (?) - and many times dropping tables/rows does not lower the DB Size (why?) - After cleaning the whole DB which is now totally empty, still weights 250mb, what is happening? Details: - I have INCREMENTAL IDS (with some jumping sequences, eg. from 10->40) - I store BLOBs - I store VARCHARs, many fixed to 125 chars, some with 250/500 or 2000 in a unique case - I use a JVM Web App that starts connection at program start and closes it at program closing (I used this approach because I thought it could be very slow and could waste tons of resources to 'reopen, commit, close' connection every single time, considering multiple people send multiple requests simultaneously. I am free too critics and I totally encourage opinions/advices about this. - Every query is immediately turned to a Map of results and the ResultSet is closed as soon as possible What is happening? I am mostly concerned about the fact it may get such a large db in production to cause slowdowns or crashes of the machine Might my question have some mistakes, feel free to correct me and apologize for my first post -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "H2 Database" group.
