Re: Database large when moving site

Hav you done the obvious

Admin --> tools --> Store manager

then selected

Empty Admin Activity Log table from the database

and then (on the same page ) select

Optimize Database

and

Clean up debug files (not stored in database, but can build up, good idea to check these for errors before shifting the store)
