Controlling database size
Databases whose size is monitored and minimized show increased performance: database operations require less I/O and fewer CPU resources; view rebuilding and updating is quicker; and memory and disk space allocation is improved.

For databases at ODS 53 or higher, the maximum database size is 256GB on Microsoft™ Windows™ and UNIX™. Otherwise, the maximum size is 64GB.

Use the following methods to minimize and monitor the size of databases:

Compact databases
Set database size quotas to prevent databases from growing beyond a specified size
Delete inactive documents using the document archiving tool or using agents
Set database performance properties that also reduce database size
Use replication settings to limit the size of a replica by replicating to it only what's necessary
When limiting the contents of a replica, decrease the database purge interval to remove deletion stubs more often
Disable the default user activity recording in databases
Disable soft deletions in databases
