Database Size

Our database is growing at a very rapid rate! It has gone from 70mb to 200mb in 5 months since going live with the store. After I clearing the message table, visitors, abandoned carts,solr log files the database is still 180mb after compressing.
I have run a script to see where the size is and the entry ‘GenericAttribute’ is the culprit at almost 75mb.
What this is? Can it be deleted or better managed? any help or advice is appreciated.

Hi jamesg,

Generic Attribute table stores generic values of some entities like Customer (E.g Customer Firstname, LastName, BirthDate etc)

I think you can try once Shrink your database. May be that can reduce some amount of space.
