I think I will go for your second option: remove every way with no node in the bbox.
Increasing the storage capacity is unfortunately not possible for now (mutualized server) and, anyway, it wouldn't make so much sense: I want to have only data for one region in my database and, like this, I will end up with the full planet (as every single node in OSM might be modified one day or the other...) By the way, would this be a bug or a request of improvement for osm2pgsql or osmosis? - osm2pgsql: actually use the --bbox option when applying a diff file to the database - osmosis: allowing to extract part of a diff file based on a bbox Cheers Stéphane -- "Le mot progrès n'aura aucun sens tant qu'il y aura des enfants malheureux" -- Albert Einstein "A journey does not need reasons.
