Size of backup file is large
I am a newbie so please forgive me...
MySQL Ver 8.40 Distrib 4.0.16 installed on server
i have successfully managed to backup a copy of my databases to an sql file however i noticed that the size of .sql file is almost double the size of the contents in teh entire database.
I am assuming that i need to purge the log files but i have been unsuccessful with this attempt?? I used the following command:
purge master logs to "logxxx.log"
It returns a "QUERY OK" but i cannot see any difference.
Why is the size of the .sql file so big and what do i need to do to make it smaller??
Kindest regards
Nick Pennisi
