    Hi,

    I have been using DB Manager for years, great plugin! Went through the forum but cannot find a similar thread, sorry if it is a silly or newbie question…

    A couple of months ago I needed to restore the DB after a mistake (:)). Everything went perfectly well. However now I am doing a cleaning up and I notice now that all my databases have been duplicated with the prefix wp_nxivxq. They are marked as orphaned by clean up systems.
    Is it a normal process of DB Manager when restoring do duplicate all databases and may I delete all these wp_nxivxq database, as they make my website quite sluggish?

    Thanks in advance for your help, and again, great plugin!
    Helene

    Nope, it doesn’t duplicate your data, it just dumps whatever tables are there in your DB and restore them.

    Actually tables in your tables does not make it sluggish because they are not being queried at all. You can delete them if you are certain they are not in used.

    Hello Lester,

    Thanks and very impressed by the speed of your answer.
    So if I understand you well (sorry I am not really a webmaster, just have to do it and learn as I go), it is not DB manager which created this set of duplicate tables with this strange prefix?

    That is bothering my side (not for you though) 🙂 because I have no idea how they suddenly appeared…sigh… and thus I do not think they are in use but I am not sure either…argh.

    I’ll think about deleting them after making a new backup…just in case- Good to have your plugin in these cases.

    And thanks for the very useful explanation, regarding the queries…i’ll look somewhere else
