Lets say your database is 5 gig. Here is what I do and it takes a long time and I worry some day I may not have enough space: 1. Backup the database using pretty much the same as you do in step 1 2. I want to change the schema in the backup so I vi this file which is about 5.5 gigs. This is done because I comment out a few things in the file and also put a commit at the bottom of the backup or it will not save when I restore. 3. I then to the restore and all is fine So my question is with #2 above. The files are getting large and to change the schema takes a long time and soon I may not have enought disk space to do this. Any ideas on how to overcome this? How would you do large databased. Lets say your database is 5 gig. Here is what I do and it takes a long time and I worry some day I may not have enough space:
