    Include a way to purge empty baskets and related table entries

    To allow long term retention of baskets ( up to a year) containing items, allow the removal of empty baskets. Include the ability to selectively define the age (for instance any empty baskets that are 2 days or older)of the empty baskets that are to be removed. This could reduce a merchant's disk storage requirements considerably. The existing basket purge is inadequate for space management. Larry

    I am not sure why Miva assigns a basket to every visitor rather than waiting for an "add to basket" action but all those empty baskets are of no value to a store. On the other hand, a basket with contents can serve as a very direct reminder when the customer returns to the store. They were almost ready to buy the product or it would not be in the basket. Why not give them a simple reminder on their next visit.

      The basket is also used to track other things not product specific such as whether or not the customer is signed in. Ok, actually that's the only thing, but the methodology is there to support such things.

      Also, this is only the Baskets table. The products are stored in the BasketItems and BasketOptions table which do not get populated until something is added.
