The accounting database provides an interface you can use to manage both the information in the database and the physical size of the database. Managing database information involves finding relevant information and then organizing it efficiently. Managing the physical size of the database requires regular attention because, unless it is configured to do otherwise, Windows System Resource Manager continues to store accounting information. As a result, the size of the database continues to increase. To manage the size of the database, you can archive accounting data for later use or delete it from the database.

You can use accounting data can to monitor resource usage, compare actual and expected performance, assess whether the computer's physical resources are sufficient for its intended tasks, and provide the basis for charge-back accounting.
