According to Schulz, Michael: > with htdig 3.1.6 i create an index of e.g. http://www.xyz.com > > Now i create a second database also with http://www.xyz.com > > Question: What happens with the index, when i merge the second database > to the first???
For any given URL, htmerge will take the most up to date record from either database. Most likely, then, given that the second database was created after the first, it will likely replace all the records in the first database with those in the second. > I saw, that the file are growing... The db.wordlist gets optimized, and the db.words.db is created from scratch from the new db.wordlist, so I wouldn't expect a lot of change there, unless the first database originally contained URLs that weren't in the second database. They might get a little bit bigger as the document IDs get larger. However, I would expect the db.docdb to grow. This is because db.docdb isn't re-created from scratch. With all the deletion and re-creation of records in there, some fragmentation would occur within the file, so it wouldn't use the space as efficiently. This is not unlike the fragmentation that occurs in a filesystem as files are deleted and created over time. -- Gilles R.
