This is FAQ.

You can find it in FAQ section.

Again in short:

* you can control size of empty of almost empty Valentina db
    using db.SegmentSize.

* in your case I think you have many fields, so initial size of Valentina is
18MB.  And you add only about 1MB of data. I.e. You have a lots of empty
space.

So change SegmentSize to 2-4KB.



IF you have other case:
    initial db size was e.g. 0.5Mb, but it go to 18Mb,
    then probably you have wrong settings for BLOB/Text fields
