The only problem I am dealing with is size. What kind of a transaction will that be? Huge, no doubt.
I would run out of space to buffer it. Does Zope do subtransactions now, or is that still just the ZCatalog?
zope has done subtransactions for a while, i'm not sure if this predates zcatalog or not ( i assume'd it does).
just call get_transaction.commit(1) to save work. and call get_tranaction.commit() when you're done. i'm in the process of writing an advanced transaction how-to which will hopefully give some more enlightenment on this process, but i've been busy with work so i don't expect to have it public for another week.
Also, I am running on stock RH6.2 linux and to double my ZODB puts me near the 2 gig file limit. Not as much of a concern as a pain in my neck. Is it faster to modify my installation to allow > 2GB or create from xml/export?
you could create the python product instances in a mounted db.
I looked into this. The webpage is very exclamitory about it's volitility, and yet Zope.org uses it. Worth a shot.
do make a backup, i hosed something in my zodb using it.
