No, there's no reason usually to start with a clean database. If you're running htmerge/htpurge (as appropriate for your version of ht://Dig), this will clean out files. Granted, the database backend itself gets a bit less efficient if you're constantly adding and deleting lots of URLs (sorta like disk fragementation). But I don't think it's a big problem for most people. If you're concerned, generating it from scratch once every 3-6 months or so certainly wouldn't hurt. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
