XF 1.5 importing phpbb 3.0.10: useless tables

[Tri@de]

i'd like to know if there are useless tables that i can empty to lighten my db (2,5 gb)
i saw phpbb_search_wordmatch with 1,7 Gb of data, is necessary?

If you run XenForo (1.5) you (usually, caveat emptor) don't need any phpbb_* tables.

i'm upgrading from phpbb3 to xenforo 2,
i have to import all db (posts users, forums)
i must pass through xenforo 1.5

You can't upgrade phpBB to XenForo, that is not possible.

You can perform an import though; data in the wordmatch table is not required for that - you can truncate it.

 

[Tri@de]

Sorry, i used wrong words.
I change phpbb to xenforo, importing the db.
there are other tables i can truncate?

If you run the import it will only import what can be used by XF.

 

[Tri@de]

That's right, but I have to import the db before passing to xenforo. I'm talking about a 3Gb database with some tables with 1gb of data. If I can truncate tables I Don't need, I can import a light db with less time to spend importing. Why do I have to wait 1 day of import of a table that don't need in xenforo?

 

[beerForo]

Well it's been longer than a day since you asked this so it could be done already.

 

[Tri@de]

You're right. But I did on test server. On production I'll truncate useless tables.

There are many tables which aren’t touched by the importer. We certainly don’t need the search tables.

 

[Tri@de]

phpbb_search_wordmatch is one of them
phpbb_sessions, phpbb_search_wordlist, phpbb_log maybe

 

[Chris D]

No we don't use those.

 

[Tri@de]

good! we are talking about 3gb of data on a 6gb database
