Thanks Stefan,
I think that is the answer I was looking for - I think your SQL is deleting
ways etc. that do not refer to existing nodes in the db?
I will give it a go, and see if my poor little virtual machine can cope - it
is certainly struggling now the database has got so big.

Would you mind if I added a link from the minutely Mapnik page to your
solution?

Regards


Graham.
