As my disk is not so big and I don't want to download further block chain data, so I changed the loader of Abe to "blkfile' from 'rpc', and I expected that the database won't increase. However, it seems Abe reloaded the blkfile into the database from the scratch and the block_tx number continued to increase though the block data was not updated. It did re-index the data into database according to the Abe browser that the block number just several thousands.
What's the problem? How can I recover to the right database?
Thanks.
loading from rpc or blkfile, yields the same database information, i would delete the database and reload everything again, or add new space to your server and change the directory where mysql puts the database.
Yes, the database is equally huge whichever loader you use. I've started a new branch ("small") where I try to keep the database size down, but I don't know when it will be usable. Meanwhile, people are saying good things about Insight:
