Is it safe to truncate mdl_assignfeedback_editpdf_queue

Hi all. We had a problem last year under 3.2.x where the unoconv library kept failing when it was running under the scheduled tasks, so we turned off the scheduled tasks and fell back on converting assignments when themarker tried to access them.

Now we have moved onto 3.4.3 and have enabled the Google converter instead, but there are still c 37k documents in the mdl_assignfeedback_editpdf_queue table.

We would like to turn the scheduled task back on. We don't care much about documents that are already in the queue, assuming that many of them are old, and that any newer ones will be converted on opening anyway. So I wondered if it is safe simply to truncate the mdl_assignfeedback_editpdf_queue table rather than risk turning on the scheduled task and finding it has to trundle through all those documents, or worse, if it tries to convert again ones that have been converted "manually" and replaced ones that have already been opened and marked.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Jock
