wp_geodir_post_icon – Entries: 1,075,727 , Data Size: 195.6 MB , Index size: 10.6 MB

I only have small icons uploaded to just some of the categories. I figured that each icon would only exist once and then would be called each time it is needed, rather than duplicated for each instance, but perhaps I am wrong.

Is there any way to optimize my database so as to increase its functionality?

in that table there are all info needed to retrieve maps markers without querying through the main post tables.

For each listing you have a row with 4 columns each:

id : 94
post_id 145
cat_id 43
json {“id”:”145″,”lat_pos”: “41.899305”,”long_pos”: “-87.62506″,”marker_id”:”145_43″,”icon”:”http://wpgeo.directory/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/hotel.png”,”group”:”catgroup43″}

This way we don’t have to join table and the queries are 10x faster.

Thanks
