my posts table in my WordPress database is nearly 1GB in size despite only having 3,409 posts, which is vastly larger than other WordPress databases I have. None of the rows in the posts table seem to have any particularly long entries. I have checked the maximum length of every single column in the table as follows:
select max(char_length(`ID`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_author`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_date`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_date_gmt`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_content`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_title`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_excerpt`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_status`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`comment_status`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`ping_status`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_password`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_name`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`to_ping`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`pinged`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_modified`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_modified_gmt`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_content_filtered`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_parent`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`guid`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`menu_order`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_type`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`post_mime_type`)) from wpwn_posts;
select max(char_length(`comment_count`)) from wpwn_posts;
None of these show exceedingly long maximum lengths or anything out of the ordinary - the longest post is just over 10000 characters. I've included a screenshot from phpmyadmin. What might be causing this? I have had an issue with malware infecting my server so want to make sure there is nothing malicious.
