PERFORMANCE
Controlling database size
Databases whose size is monitored and minimized show increased performance: database operations require less I/O and fewer CPU resources; view rebuilding and updating is quicker; and memory and disk space allocation is improved. The maximum database size is 64GB on MicrosoftŸ WindowsŸ and UNIXŸ. Use the following methods to minimize and monitor the size of databases:
Compact databases
Set database size quotas to prevent databases from growing beyond a specified size
Delete inactive documents using the document archiving tool or using agents
Set database performance properties that also reduce database size
Use replication settings to limit the size of a replica by replicating to it only what's necessary
When limiting the contents of a replica, decrease the database purge interval to remove deletion stubs more often
Disable the default user activity recording in databases
Disable soft deletions in databases
