Huge postgresql

[sriver]

hi...
i have a question about the postgresql size of pokertracker
my pokertracker files have a size of 1.95 gb but my postgresql folder has a size of nearly 20(!) gb..
there are only files with numbers like 1249 etc. in it...
Do pokertracker need them or can i delete them???

Those files are your PT3 database. DO NOT delete them or you will lose your database.

The only files in the C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\ directory that are safe to delete are the files in:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\Data\pg_log. Those logs may be safely discarded. Everything else should be kept.

looks like like you save your imported HH in the PT3 folder.

yes i save them in the pt folder...
should i save them in an other folder ??
will the postgresql folder be smaller than if i move them, delete my database and reimport them?

Your saved hand histories are only needed if you want to restore at a later date. Their being around won't affect your overall database size; PT3 databases are large because they store an awful lot of data.
