Hi all, I am currently using Django on a project with a database of fairly large table sizes, and I have encountered a strange and potentially dangerous bug, of which I am not sure the cause. This is not really a bug report, as I haven't really had the time necessary to gather enough information to file an official bug report, but I would like to get some more expert opinions on the matter if I could.
Here goes: Using Django, I am inserting rather large amounts of records into an sqlite3 database on OS X v10.4.10. I have yet to perfect my Django development cycle, and so I spend a decent amount of time changing around models and recreating databases as I develop. At one point, after spending hours writing to the database, the python process had finished, however the database still appeared to be empty, except for the fact that the filesystem thought its size was ~53Mb. Not having time to investigate further, I deleted the database and decided to try again later. For a separate part of the project, I wanted to install matplotlib and pylab, and so I moved on to do this next instead. However, compilation errors abounded when I did so, namely that there were odd characters in my system and various other header files. When I looked at these files, they indeed appeared to binary, except for the fact that there were visible strings of ASCII text, which clearly came from the data I had been trying to insert into the database (strangely enough these were actually DNA sequences, but not from a virus). I was able to restore the headers that I needed in order to compile, however, I have no idea what else on my system may have been touched by this. Days later I had a problem with import site every time I would start up python, and found another string of DNA had inserted itself into my Numeric.pth file. The difficulties so far have been easy enough to fix, but this is such a strange, and potentially dangerous problem, that I am cautious about writing to the database any further until I have identified its cause. I understand that this is likely a sqlite issue, but if anyone has any further insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
