I was working with a small database today (a county with only about 91,000
voters) and at a certain point I attempted to create a new panel and import
a .csv file with about 17,000 lines of data using an incrementing GZZZZZ
field as an index. Every attempt to import the data failed before completion
so I tried creating the panel again, exporting and importing the .ste file
and re-creating indexes. No luck.

Inspected raw data. Looked fine.

Created a stand-alone database with a single panel for this application.
Again, import kept failing.

Failing to come up with a credible reason why it wasn't working I added an
index number to the data set so that rather than depending on the
incrementing number, the data would have its own unique number. That did the
trick.

Any ideas as to why?
