I was close - there were 1700 genuine records.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostThere should be no more than 10000 records in the table, but the duff code has generated several million more.
And nobody wrote anything to purge the data once it was no longer required.
It's currently taking up 44GB of disk space
And 305000000 invalid records in the table

If there hadn't been a crappy report looking at the table, I'd have created a new one from scratch, and had some degree of design to it.Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostJust drop it all
Current table has 15 columns which can be used for anything. "Consultancy" used four of them. And one of those is used for two different things - it's either the ID for the project or the ID for a person, depending on some other flag which isn't on the table.
