X created massive My SQL database?

[mhkatz]

I had our host send through a message that our site is over the limit for MySQL size.

I looked at the database and have 800mb under wp_postmeta.

I looked into that and it appears to be mostly the same X related content. Is this an error or is the sit just too big somehow?

I’ll add details in a private note.

Hi @mhkatz,

Thanks for reaching out.
The X does not create the massive data into the database, the more you create the posts, pages or else it grows accordingly. The wp_postmeta table store the Cornerstone data as metadata of the pages, posts or any posts that created using the Cornerstone. The tables also store element styling, custom CSS code and etc.
I would suggest you check and if possible remove the unused pages and posts to reduce the database size.

Thanks
