Thread:Project:Support desk/Unusually Large database: 8GB

The database in question is more than 8GB in size, which is an unusually high amount of data. Isn't it that generally even larger MediaWiki installations have databases no bigger than 2-3GB. Of the 8GB of data, 5GB of all content is placed in the mz_text table.

What i would like to find out is, how did this come about?
