I have a python product that has a class derived from CatalogAware and SimpleItem. I programmatically add instances of these (1000s of them) on an automated basis every day in the early morning. My problem is that whenever I do this, the Catalog is updated with some problems: 1 - Metadata is skewed: DateTime objects are cataloged, and they end up with the wrong date ('2001/01/01') instead of today's date, even though the actual property. 2 - Text indexes only get a portion of their text stored in the metadata, not all of it. Using a bulk reindex solves this problem (subtransaction off, haven't tried it any other way). I'm using Zope 2.3.2 with ZEO 1.0b3. The automated process queries SQL for data, and uses those queries to create object instances of the previously mentioned catalog-aware class, and I create anywhere from 2000-7000 objects at a time. I'm not sure if this is due to the size of the transaction I am running. I haven't tried this in a smaller transaction yet; I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. Any thoughts?
