I appreciate the info and I realize that everyone is just trying to help. Thank you for that. But I may have given too much information when I mentioned the reason why we were doing it. There are other reasons, which I've mentioned, that I want to make the database smaller. I'm not the one moving the servers, nor am I the one with any practical knowledge of how to do that or even the proper access. I intend on learning, but in the meantime, my only concern and question right now is how to make the database smaller.

Snake, the person doing the transfer is the person who owns the new server, so there is no one else to get to do that. But I assure you, he knows what he's doing, since this is part and parcel of his profession. I'm the one who doesn't know what he's doing, so I'm likely not conveying the information I have accuarately. In fact, I guarantee it. That's probably why we shouldn't focus on what I mentioned about moving servers (since it's likely inaccurate), and just focus on the part about making the database smaller. That's what I primarily would like to know. (Like purging signatures, I'm really interested in finding out if that's possible) The server transfer stuff, while greatly appreciated, is part of another lesson for me, for another time.
