[wp-hackers] best way to reset the database

[Tom Barrett]

Inspired by: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-reset/

I have a theme I use for development that stores the
options/posts/user/whatever, drops the tables, deletes uploads, rebuilds
and inserts the data I want to keep. Not too tricky, but possibly overkill
for hat you want.

If you all you want to do is clear out the posts and postmeta tables, then
truncate is your friend. I'd go with this option from what you describe.
