Description
We want a new version of the development sample database because it's been a long time since the last one was made.
We decided to reduce the number of sounds and downloads that we keep, in order to make the db smaller.
Additionally, delete tables that contain private information that shouldn't be shared, and anonymise a few further columns.
After removing sounds/downloads, but before cleaning the additional tables, the dump was about 800mb (60 compressed). I noticed that most of the space was used by old silk logs and moderation tickets that were no longer connected to any sounds or users. After deleting this, the database was down to 60mb uncompressed/7mb compressed.
Because it's so small, we could probably get away with increasing the number of sounds a bit more if we want. We'd need to evaluate this against the size of the sound archive.
