Running a test system of drupal for a new site that we are wolrking on, and noticed that the watchdog log table grew to about 250,000 records. This made the main admin (and log) pages just move to a screeching halt.
I deleted the watchdog table and everything seemed to come back to life -
Could this be some sort of configuration issue? Either drupal or mysql? has anyone else run into this, and did they come up with a solution (like possibly purging the log file) -
Thanks
