But even if that's resolved, you're still going to have a performance issue (lock contention for seconds or even minutes maybe[1]) even if you don't get stuck for days. > Fair enough. > It was not obvious when installing that I should not use sqlite3. Yeah, there's a sort of warning somewhere that we strongly recommend a full-featured RDBMS system, but we should probably make it a lot more prominent and explain why. > Yes, I'm gonna have to do that. > At least I'll start by counting number of records in each table, > and then see > if there is some systematic lack. I wonder if the routines in SQLAlchemy are expecting features (such as indexes) from your PostgreSQL DB that sqlite3 doesn't have, and so don't get copied across by pgloader. That kind of thing is why Mark suggests creating the DB by hand, then using Mailman to initialize, and finally do an SQL dump and load of the tables.
