z33m - just looked at your thread, and see that the query in question is similar to info = cls.all().get()
My situation was similar. Before allowing a person to be deleted, I check if the person has any data, by doing something similar to: has_data = person.data_set.get() if has_data: return error message saying clear data before deleting else: delete person So one case was where a person got deleted, but there was data. Understood - there can be something in my code. But after tracing the logs, speaking with the user to be sure he acted as expected, and looking carefully enough to be pretty sure that the code is generally OK led me to a preliminary conclusion to wait and see if something similar reoccurs. btw - this incident occurred pretty close to an Appengine deployment period. In general, these kinds of cases are fairly rare. And experience shows that whenever I'm sure that the datastore's at fault, I eventually find the real bug in my code :) johnP On Dec 18, 7:32 pm, z33m <[email protected]> wrote: > This is actually not the first time for me either.
