[Gramps-devel] remove of async TXN in database

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

For python 2.6 we have removed async write of log as it creates a DbError
now.
See http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=2483

The workaround would appear to be close of environment, and create new
environment with async set up. This looks like a difficult project to me: at
the end of batch the env has to be closed again and opened again, it must be
certain no other handles are open at the moment or reference this env, so
the global env must be replaced, testing ....

Async write was added in the past to increase performance on batch
operations, my suggestion would be to see if this still is in issue in
python 2.6 with new bsddb, so if people in 2.6 see much slower import of
GEDCOM/XML, check and repair, ..., this would be a likely place to gain some
performance back.

If somebody has a different idea?
