           Summary: digikam database tables only grow in size and get
                    never cleaned
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.5.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rfkd at fietze-home.de


Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

The database tables for the image information always just grow, but never get
cleaned when images are removed.

The MySQL Images table e.g. just gets the album field set to NULL.

When one adds and removes images a lot, this causes very big databases after a
while.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
E.g. create a few hundred images, let digikam scan or find them. Then remove
the images again.


Expected Results:  
Either there should be a function for database management that clears out
unused entries, or digikam should do this right away when images do no longer
exist or are deleted inside digikam.

Tested it with both MySQL and SQLite.
