After a bit of thinking...I have almost no experience of database
manipulations...I took the original Mythtv setup instructions and logged
into the mythconverg DB by making the following spell (as root since I
happened to be logged as root in a terminal window).
[root at janus ~]# mysql -u mythtv -p_your_own_passwd_here mythconverg
> delete from program where starttime < date_sub(curdate(),
interval 1 day) or starttime > date_add(curdate(), interval 14 day);
some seconds passed and database is again clean and operational as
ever...only 7 days of data remains.
Thanks.
