rcking Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi,i known that tb_session_adm can empty. But i am not sure with connestions_page. Is it only for stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornel Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Yeah, I would like to know if we can empty them, along with the ps_pagenotfound, I have almost 1M of rows here and the databse it's really large. can we empty them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I also have the same question. These two tables are taking up 20+ MB, and causing my DB backup to fail (I'm using a shared hosting plan).Is it safe to delete the content from these tables? What are the consequences?

rocky Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yes, you can empty those tables. The only thing you'll lose is the customer's "last visited" date. You can also go to Stats > Settings and automatically clean out these tables on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks for the confirmation!When exactly does the weekly / monthly / yearly cleanup process kick in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Every time a connection is made to your site, the cleaner deletes all connections older than 1 week, 1 month or 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBaseball34 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hey, rocky, how about the page_viewed table, can it, too be emptied? And, I also noticed the search_index table is quite large, what is that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The page_viewed table stores which pages were viewed by which customers and what time. I suppose you could empty that table too if you aren't interested in that information.The search_index table is used for the search autocomplete. If you aren't using that feature, I suppose you could clear it as well, though I'm not sure whether it is used for regular search. Make a backup first just in case. You can change the settings and regenerate the search index on the Preferences > Search tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilianoavendano Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Si.

deepee Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks, I just emptied the three ps_connection related tables.They were taking up nearly 100MB of disk space!All pages are loading much faster and I hope this is because of the reduction in the database size, and not just a coincidence.

RobbieBlokeToys Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Every time a connection is made to your site, the cleaner deletes all connections older than 1 week, 1 month or 1 year. So this means that it only empties the individuals info if they return, and if they allow the cookie too? It definitely doesn't delete everything on any routine pattern because I have to manually do this when things start to slow down. There really needs to be a setting somewhere in the back office when to clean up the tables automatically, with us able to select once a day, week or month etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Try this module form Vekia - it is brilliant. Brought our customer page load times down from 60 secs to 2 secs https://mypresta.eu/modules/administration-tools/database-optimization.html Not automatic, but easy to use every few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingrossoerisparmio Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 but how disable writing in these tables? If i not use statistics, is not performing all this writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) but how disable writing in these tables? If i not use statistics, is not performing all this writing. you would need to search your entire native PrestaShop to determine 1) how to disable and 2) 'all' areas of native that are using this information and action them as well. or you can empty them manually, create a mysql trigger to do it, use a module solution....
