In its current implementation post revisions are definitely a foe. For starters, revisions should not be stored in the posts table. The way it works now, the only reason why this type of strict revisioning is needed is if you're running a wiki.

I agree that there should be options within WordPress to manage its use as opposed to mucking around with the config file.

Oh sure – take the easy way out. Plugin you want, plugin you get. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/delete-revi...

Thanks for the heads up on the mistype.

On the SQL front there are a lot of things I could do with SQL. I could write my posts entirely in SQL if I wanted to, but that would entirely defeat the purpose of WordPress wouldn't it?

freINDs can be friENDs in the end. I before E except after C. The Grammar Police commeth and want to know why you have spellcheck turned off.

Seriously though, there is a mySQL command you can use to delete prior versions of posts if you didn't already add the plugin as discussed on WPTavern.com
