There is no way of knowing unless you know the IDs of the post.

Lester Chan,

Thanks but how do I know if my posts have any custom meta data or not? E.g. what other data is being stored in the ofter tables?

Thanks,

Jimbo

That code will only delete away the revisions but not the custom meta along with the revision.

What is the difference to this code?

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = “revision”;

which I found here?

It is not recommended to touch the core files as you will lose them if you upgrade

Will it be the same if you just change the WP_POST_REVISIONS in wp-settings.php from true to false?

Thanks a lot, Lester! Disabling and then deleting all those revisions cut my db size in half!

Thanks a ton for your help.
I went mad afer upgrading to WP 2.6.
I added define (’WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 0); in my WP-CONFIG file but I am still seeing the autosave functionality.
Is there any other trick ?

Beyond being annoying, this creates all kinds of legal problems, as the post’s whole history can now be subpoenaed. Previously you could change a post the minute someone complained, and by the time the guy got a lawyer and decided to sue for libel, the offending text would be long gone (most people in the heat of anger call you up before thinking to make a copy of the post).
