Thank you for your answer. Well, I can reproduce it in a small Python
script that I attach to my email. At the end of the script there is
this declaration:
# AG: Just modify this variable, the first time to create a new
# database use True, then use False to see what happens by
# loading the existing database
newDataBase = True
If you run the sample with newDataBase=True, a new database called
"tutorial_modified.db" is created, and it is around 120 Kb in size.
Changing newDataBase to False, will cause the script to load the
existing database.
At this point, in the script I do this:
self.session.clear()
# This selects the root node:
t = self.session.query(TreeNode).select(TreeNode.c.name=="rootnode")[0]
# This should delete everything from the session/db, shouldn't it?
self.session.delete(t)
del t
self.session.flush()
But the database is still 120 Kb in size, no shrinkage of 1 byte...
The script itself will print out the database size using os.stat.
I am really lost... does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thank you for your suggestions.
Andrea.
