Revisions: best-practise way of removing all from a site?

By Leeteq on 20 Nov 2006 at 13:22 UTC

What is the best way to remove all revisions from all nodes on a site?
I guess that simply emptying the revisions table would not be the appropriate way and will/may cause trouble? Which tables are involved in storing information about revisions?

I know GMan at http://www.tech-wanderings.com/ has a revision deletion module... you might look into this as the solution.

New Revision Deletion module - but no issue tracker, is it safe?

By the way, ref. the Revisions deletion module that was released earlier this month:
http://drupal.org/node/92477

Anyone got any experiences with it?
It does not have its own issue tracker here, so I am reluctant to use it on important sites until I know more about it, and have seen other's reports too over some time.

Meanwhile, I am curious to know what is the safest/best way to mass-delete revisions.

It's fairly new, hence the lack of an issue tracker. There will be as soon as he gets his CVS account setup... I trust him, though. ;) And he's a maintainer over at vbdrupal.org, so they trust his coding skills.

Obviously, you should use this on a test site before your live site, but it'll never get tested if everyone waits for someone else to do it!

Well, at least the issue tracker must be up first

I will certainly test it, but only a quick look until there is an issue tracker for it here at drupal.org, so I can report my findings.

Fair enough. I'll send him

Fair enough. I'll send him an email for ya and see if there's any hold-up on that. I know personally I had a hard time getting CVS to go on Windows... I ought to right a guide to SmartCVS for this place.
