I am currently in a debate with some of my coworkers right now on the number
of  versions to use.  I say we should only have a very small number of
versions, 3 to 10(depending on the data).  If the data needs to have a
retention of time, archive it.   My coworkers(I am in the minority here)
want to have 60 versions-  What I understand of ADSM, this will eventually
fill the DB to an incredibly large state.  Am I correct?  Thanks for your
response ahead of time.
