[RBASE-L] - runaway file 3 size

[Emmitt Dove]

All,

I have a problem that I hope someone might be able to illuminate.

At two locations we are running our app under 1.863 Windows.

After a fresh unload/input, the file 3 size will be approximately 63% of the size of file 2. However, file 3 starts to grow. After 9 days at one location it is now 300% the size of file 2. If left unchecked, it will continue to grow.

The dimensions of the database are:

239 Tables
73 Views
2,244 Columns
544 Indexes/Keys
32 SATTACHed tables with 553 columns

This behavior has been present at one location for several months, dating back to Inline Patch 2 days. I recently added about 15 tables to the other location and converted everyone to IP3, and the growth started there also.

I do not think this is version-specific. There is something else causing the runaway growth in file 3.

Any clues?
