[basex-talk] Pruned, optimized DB shows same document count, db size

Hello all,

I've pruned about half the documents of a +-5GB database using XQuery delete. I then optimised the database using db:optimize.

The database metadata still shows the original number of documents, and the overall db filesize remains roughly the same.

I was sort of hoping this pruning would improve performance, but if there's any difference it's negligable. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance,

Constantine Hondros
