Cleaning Your Database
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
RSS Guard is able to work well with huge databases, keeping hundreds of thousands of articles. But, sometimes "well" is not well-enough, right? Big DB files bring RSS Guard into problems sometimes and it is good to regularly remove old, unneeded data from it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two ways of keeping your DB file in good shape.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Cleaning DB file manually
|
||
|
|
Go to `Tools -> Cleanup database` dialog where you will see all options. Hit `OK` to process the DB file. Note that option `Optimize database file` is checked, then database engine will try to shrink database file (`database.db`) to smallest size possible, removing all empty areas from it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Cleaning DB file automatically
|
||
|
|
There is better and more configurable way of keeping your DB file slim and fit. This feature can be configured application-wide and individually for each feed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go to `Tools -> Settings -> Feeds & articles -> Feed fetching -> Limitting amount of articles in feeds` or select some feed and go to `Edit selected items -> Limitting amount of articles in feeds`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can select number of newest articles to keep in your feed. Also, you can instruct the feature to not remove your unread/starred articles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The cleaning action usually runs everytime your feed is fetched.
