 * Hello, My WordPress database is 1GB. I have used WP Database Optimizer Tools 
   and Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions – the last one got rid of only
   1% of the size.
 * The biggest table seems to be the wp_commentmeta table rather than comments.
 * I have 350 post and 8,000 comments. I remember it being 30MB not so long ago.
 * Any ideas on how to get it down to a sensible size?
