Stop the revisions

I just set up a new WordPress web site, intending to keep the posts table small and orderly. To keep this table from getting bigger, early on, I changed quite a few rows from “revision” to “page,” and post_status to “publish.” I installed this plugin to keep WordPress from relentlessly making this table with useless revisions. Then, I commenced to editing pages the usual way. Just when I thought everything was fine, I noticed a not about “revisions available.” I was ready to scream when I found that the posts table pretty much doubled in size–with the higher ID numbers being ALL REVISIONS! I don’t like deleting rows, because it’s impossible to get deleted row ID numbers back. There must be a function way inside WordPress that executes the “Insert Into” sql function when editing pages. Where is it? Is there a way to limit number of rows in a table, so that when WordPress wants to keep addingmore rows, it get the message, “oh, no, you don”t!”
