db file sizes #38

Hi Eibanez,

When doing some big runs, I end up with Plexos solution files (.zip) that have a size of 900MB. Converting these to Plexos db files yields db files with a size of more than 5GB. Then I cancelled a lot of the reporting settings and now I have solution files of approximately 100MB. However, the Plexos db is still over 3GB in size. Since I decreased the size of the Plexos output file with a factor 9, I would expect that the db size also shrinks with a factor nine. In reality this is not even a factor 2. Could it be that he still saves all the tables in the db, although they all are empty?

Regards, Jef

There is some optimization in the way that some results are saved. It's possible that the "extra" reports that you are canceling are more efficient because of this.
