'EventRecords' is full

Our accounting database appears to be full.

org.glite.apel.core.ApelException: java.sql.SQLException: The table 'EventRecords' is full

Hmmm, what to do. Increase or archive?

You can see what is set from: SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM accounting LIKE 'EventRecords';

and if you want to increase you can use:ALTER TABLE accounting MAX_ROWS=1000000000 AVG_ROW_LENGTH=338;

But surely the correct thing would be archive. Handily the archival procedure is documented on the APEL wiki.

It is useful to know that the default size of MyISAM tables in MYSQL4 is 4Gb. Luckily in MYSQL5 and above the table limit is much higher. I wonder if the new SL5 APEL will ship with innodb tables?
