John Tobey, what about my case? Why am I getting this exception and what can I do to break through that block?
This error takes more thought. I got this error with SQLite and thought I'd worked around it in the latest code. Please list your versions of Abe, pysqlite, and SQLite. I could not produce the error using Abe latest, pysqlite-2.6.0, and libsqlite3 3.7.4-2ubuntu5. I tried this command, and it succeeds past block_tx 2261 2291:
python -m Abe.abe --dbtype sqlite3 --commit-bytes 10000 --connect-args test.sqlite
Note that SQLite will slow down horribly if you make it to block 70000+. Another database engine such as PostgreSQL or MySQL will not have the same error, which is specific to SQLite.
