Any feedback on this? Our local instance of Galaxy is ready to "go live" and this is one of the remaining issues keeping us from more wide-spread usage.

Can anyone confirm that I should be using scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py when I'm using postgresql? Are there any limits on the versions of postgresql?

Thanks in advance,

Malcolm

I noticed yet another version of cleanup_datasets.py under cron which looks like it might be compatible with postgres, but am leary of trying it as I'm not sure what it means by "1: database directory to clean". I'm not sure what directory to point this to, nor am I confident that just deleting data from the directory is the safest thing.
