4.75 GB SDL TM - now running in Studio 2017 SR1

Susanna R Miles

I have been "stashing" more than 15 years of TUs in my "personal" TM. It has now grown to a rather large size about 5GB and more than 700000 TUs.

Do you see that as a problem?

I know Access databases usually don't function well if over 2 GB. - Is this an issue for the .sdltm file? - and if yes, what do you suggest I do.

My plan so far:

1) I am going to start looking for duplicates to reduce the size, but that is such a tedious process using just the Detail View in the TM interface and looking for duplicates there - Numbers, even part numbers (in letter form) and tags apparently aren't recognized as differences.

2) I know I can export to .tmx and then re-import into a new TM.

If I do that, what do you recommend for settings to strip out duplicates, or TUs that maybe differ only by tags. - Or is that even a process that may work?

Are there any good tutorials out there?

Thanks you all,

Susanna

    technology under the hood;
    SDL TB : Microsoft Access
    SDL TM : SQLite

    0.7 Mil TU is not so big size

    You can delete duplicates with easy ignoring Numbers, Tags. SDL Trados Studio do has this function, but not useful in this case.

    Detouring tmx is not a bad idea. But, do NOT use 3rd party tools. Some could be dangerous. Because, SDL Trados Studio has its own bizarre items within it. And, I guess, it will take million years to finish it.

    Whatever you do, keep your original copy in the safe place.

    Good Luck To You
