Forum What tables aren't used by 4.0?
 

I'm having to reduce the size of my database and I've been purging posts and doing other things to clear out space.

I've noticed that despite this, my postindex table has not changed in size at all, regardless of what changes have been made. Purging posts, rebuilding search index, repairing and optimizing tables - nothing. I've trimmed a nearly 650MB database in half, but I still have a 120MB postindex table that is almost as large as my post table, and hasn't moved an inch.

I'm led to believe that the postindex table has to do with database search, but I would have thought that would change when I 1) purged ~100MB of posts and 2) rebuilt the search index. That seemed to affect the searchcore and searchcore_text tables, but the postindex table remained the same.

My question is whether or not the postindex table is even being used with 4.0. I would think with all the changes that were made to the forum in general that it would have moved in some way, but since it didn't I wasn't sure if this was a remnant from 3.8 and if it was, I was curious as to what else was remaining that I could get rid of.

Any thoughts? Does anyone who installed vB 4.0 fresh have a list of the tables that were created when they installed?
