Subject: Re: Bayes db size....
Is there a consensus on this need? I deal with the seen db issue by
scheduled deletion of that file. That said, with SA becoming more
and
more prominent all the time, I suspect the Average Joe will miss
this
oddity until they wind up with a sluggish system, out of drive space
or
other related issues.
I was mostly curious of the logic on NOT doing maintenance on the
Seen
and AWL db files. If there is a consensus this needs to occur, then
perhaps I can take the time to create a proper patch. I just want
to
make sure I am not missing something fundamental here....

I use the SQL interface and expire the bayes_seen like this. I
believe 6 months to be over conservative. I added a lastupdate column

technique such as this and update the timestamp in perl. It converts
nicely to SQL.
Here is my query for cleaning bayes_seen:
mysql -u$USER -p$PW -h$SERVER -e\
"DELETE FROM bayes_seen WHERE lastupdate <= DATE_SUB(SYSDATE(),
INTERVAL 6 MONTH); " \
$DB
Hope this helps,
