They will restructure the datafile, causing data loss (but not really damage - the loss is because properties will be dropped). As for the 100% CPU - the only case where I have seen this before is with (sub)views containing no properties. The example on this PyDS page worked here, once I removed the spaces: http://pyds.muensterland.org/weblog/2004/04/20.html#P227 > I am not sure whether this is PyDS threading issues or Metakit bugs. > In any case, Metakit should not crash while attempting to read data > from a database! I agree. And I'm not sure how to reproduce that - the files you sent appear to open properly, and the mkstats utility reports no file damage problems. -jcw _____________________________________________ Metakit mailing list - [email protected] http://www.equi4.com/mailman/listinfo/metakit
