No, definitely not. The fsdump does not dump textual representations of complete objects, but rather, a summary of each transaction including when it began, what offset into the db file it lives at, and what OIDs including class information were included in that transaction. The text output is much smaller than the actual DB. The class information is what might give you the best clue as to what caused the transaction - if it turns out to be a class(es) that you only use for a specific project, or in a specific content object etc, then that may be a solid hint for the trigger. regards, Darryl Dixon Winterhouse Consulting Ltd http://www.winterhouseconsulting.com _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
