Hey tom, you might wantto take a look at this thread: http://invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=287317&PageNum=31

There's some about a file CCV and Database Query share...

[Tom]

Thanks. I saw this yesterday. They had this discussion in two threads and I only responded in one.

We have found the cause but not a working solution except to install the .NET2 plugin before installing a .NET4 plugin.

[DJ Doena]

I think my collection (154 MB) is too big for your importer. In the last 20% it always fails with a database connection error and then just brings up message box after message box until I kill the process in the task manager.



If I only import the profile (and its parent chain) that just randomly failed here (I have to try it again but I don't think it's always the same one) then it imports just fine:

[DJ Doena]

Correction: it fails deterministically at that profile, but if I simply exclude it from the collection, it simply fails shortly after.

Is there a way to import in chunks?

[Tom]

I don't think it is the size.  I think it is some formatting in the custom crew entry which causes the problem. Can you send me the xml of such a profile?
