Hello Andrei,

thanks very much for your reply. 

Yes, I'm aware I'm on an old version: if it's not broken, don't fix it ;) 
Version 1.4.197 has been rock-solid for us for years, and I'm always loathe 
to change things for no reason. But you have given me a good reason, so 
I'll give the latest MVStore a try.

Can you recommend the best way to 'manually' compact the database in the 
latest release?

And just to be sure: could there be any data-loss issues from flushing the 
cache?

Cheers,

Matt.
