[Koha] Size of a couple of MySQL tables

[Kyle Hall]

The script cleanup_database.pl will help you a bit with import_records. You
should be using the 'clean' button in the import records tool to keep the
size down as well. As for the deletedbiblioitems table, I'm not aware of a
script for that. You can always trim it via sql from the mysql console.
