Agile programming is a new model of programming in which two (or more) programmers work together at a single computer.

Agile programming is often used in Java development

The idea is simple: two programmers work together, often with one typing, while the other looks over his/her shoulder and together they discuss design and implementation ideas and issues. This is in contrast to most software development work, which is typically solitary.

To clear out free space in your Drupal's database -- typically a MySQL installation -- you can generally empty the cache tables. Many versions of Drupal include a bug in which the cache_form table is not cleared, causing it to grow to be quite large in size over time. Note that emptying these tables could have a short-term effect on your website; for example, clearing cache_form will clear any forms currently being filled out on the website.
