[devtalk] table line deletions and diskspace

[joseph-harris]

Many thanks Franni, David and Chrome. I've had to go out, so 
I have not had a chance to try David's suggestions - though 
they make sense to me for usual db work. However Franni 
thank you specially for taking the trouble to search out 
this reply for me, It certainly does help.

If I cannot remove a page and all its revisions at one go, 
nor take material off the db when cutting out lines from 
tables it leaves too much work to remove a page. When there 
are thousands of revisions to roll back it becomes 
pointless. I'll check if the other wikis have the same 
limitation, otherwise I will replace it with something 
else - straight html pages at a pinch.

The main advantage for a wiki seemed to be the ease of cross 
referencing, and the ability to add information to a page. 
But I wonder if I might achieve some of this with a forum 
style or bulletin board. Is there another system that has 
ease of creating cross referencing?

Joseph
