Hello thereMy DB_CONFIG looks like this

set_lg_bsize 2097512
set_lg_dir /usr/local/var/openldap-logs
set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE

Recently , we have few batch processes running in the LDAP server for Datawarehouse groups and other apps and this is causing  DB logs to grow  . When I do a ls -l the size of the logs are almost 4GB in
size. This is causing trouble and we don't want this many logs. How do I limit the log size so that it doesn't exceed lets say 1 GB .  
These DB logs are of very little importance to us. We periodically do a backup using slapcat and we can use this in case we have a fatal crash .
Please throw some light on how to limit these DB logs . Thanks 

Please see the Oracle documentation relating to set_lg_max, and the slapd-bdb(5) / OpenLDAP resources relating to checkpointing.
