database growing FAST with 1.5RC$

[steveh]

My brand new 1.5RC4 database backed up to 2.17mb last Sunday after I got everything up and running. Today, 3 days later, it backs up to 2.77mb using the same backup parameters...At this rate, I'll have a huge DB in no time at all....The EE optimize and defrag utilities don't reduce the DB size. My 1.22 DB was very stable in size over a LONG period of time. Anybody got a clue as to what's going on with 1.5RC4????

EE 1.5 has "Uncookied" system and message system which build a lot of data over time if you do not clear them from time to time. In current developement version Uncookied system has a nice automatic cleanup system so db size is taken into account.

Messages are cleared when you log out or you can clear them with respective message window in editor.
