Well, My guess is that it will take a loooong time, so long before that you might need to re-import your extract for whatever fail delete, style change, software update, and so on. Thus returning your database storage back to your extract's size only. Note that a regular extract re-import is also a way to clean what is outside your zone of interest. > By the way, would this be a bug or a request of improvement for osm2pgsql > or osmosis? I think it is not possible to do it properly, a dirty hack loosing data from time to time could do but that will still require server ressources. As said earlier here : http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2012-August/025503.html A share zone for regional diffs exports could do, or support for the new augmented diffs in those tools. But both still have to be done. -- sly qui suis-je : http://sly.letuffe.org email perso : sylvain chez letuffe un point org _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
