Was I just dreaming, or did I see a message from DC saying that, since release 2.1.?, ZODB is automatically packed "in the background". -- Loren ----- Original Message ----- From: Lalo Martins <lalo@hackandroll.org> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: February 18, 2000 03:08 PM Subject: [Zope-dev] ZODB & packing (Re: [Zope-dev] TIP: Must enable 'new' for FreeBSD Python 1.5.2 port to install PythonMethods)

Not really. ZODB is smarter than that. The set of properties is copied, not the image. (AFAIK)
Hmm ... this could explain the moderate growth of my Data.fs.
Packing removed the 'older versions' apparently, if this was indeed the cause.
Yes. As I'm using BannerFolder quite heavily, I acquired the habit of packing weekly. It usually drops size by about 80%, and this considering that I only delete objects older than 7 days.
I don't suppose there is a way for an object to remove any previous versions programmatically?
This is a good question.
But even if there isn't, you can program a cron job to pack your database - look for my Zope/Cron Howto.
