New Sewer system for TE to remove all invalid data from the TE-database.

Last week I offered the TE-System manager a new engine for the database.

IB Tech answered in the FORUM with the message “There will be database hardware upgrades being made in the near future which should improve site performance significantly. Thank you for your patience as we work through this.”

Sadly this new engine wasn’t able to improve the server to a smooth running machine, so I think more support is necessary. Therefore I offer a new sewer system in this upload to remove all invalid and superfluous data from the database.
I suggest that the database is polluted with a lot of deleted pictures. The moderators are maybe to diligent to delete excessive post-processing, elaborated framing, pictures of TE-member, family, pets etc. The picture are deleted but not removed from the server. Inadequate queries could be the result and that gives a corrupt database.

To help a little bit more I consulted Wikipedia. I did find the entry “database hardware”, but maybe the next information is helpful.

A database engine is the underlying software component that a database management system (DBMS) uses to create, retrieve, update and delete (see CRUD (acronym)) data from a database. One may command the database engine via the DBMS's own user interface, and sometimes through a network port.
A DBMS is a complex set of software programs that controls the organization, storage, management, and retrieval of data in a database. DBMS are categorized according to their data structures or types. It is a set of prewritten programs that are used to store, update and retrieve a Database. A DBMS includes:
1. A modeling language to define the schema of each database hosted in the DBMS, according to the DBMS data model.
2. Data structures (fields, records, files and objects) optimized to deal with very large amounts of data stored on a permanent data storage device (which implies relatively slow access compared to volatile main memory).
3. A database query language and report writer to allow users to interactively interrogate the database, analyze its data and update it according to the users privileges on data.
4. transaction mechanism, that ideally would guarantee the ACID properties, in order to ensure data integrity, despite concurrent user accesses (concurrency control), and faults (fault tolerance).
