[Zope-dev] Emergency User Stupidity with Transactions

Hi,

I need to import a _big_ .zexp (1.8GB)

To stop browsers timing out, I wrote a little script to do this:

from urllib import urlopen

print "start" urlopen('http://username:password@localhost:80/manage_importObject?set_owner:int=0&file=my.zexp').read() print "done"

...which runs and print:

start done

...but when I I got to the root management interface, I see no 'my' object.

Weird. Go to the Database Info page in the control panel and the Data.fs _has_ grown by 1.8GB, so where's the object?!

I printed the results of the urlopen. I was getting an 'Emergency User Cannot Own' error. But, and this is crazy, the Data.fs is still growing by the size of the import, even though it hasn't been successfully imported!!! Ideas? Chris
