Re: db size problem (4GB monster)

Hi Jörn,

we had the same problem last year. The instance doubles it's size with 
every move you make like copying objects. We couldn't determine where 
this was coming from, but the refactoring script written by Mr Hoffmann 
helped us getting it fixed.

Good Luck,
Tobias
