I've been running Moodle 2.2 for just under 6 months and I am concerned by the size of the question_attempt_steps and question_attempt_steps_data tables. They seem to be growing at an alarming rate.
Currently question_attempt_steps is just under 8 million rows and question_attempt_steps_date is just under 11 million rows. I have a large Moodle site which sees a significant amount of traffic, but it is not a huge site by any regard.
Is there any plan to manage the data in these tables to prevent them from continuing to grow? I'm concerned that over time the size of them will start to interfere with my ability to backup the database in a timely manner.
