Re: Importing file to Models - Temporary store to allow confirming?

Shawn,

Thanks for the quick reply =).

If we go with the third approach, what advantages are there to persisting the models in MongoDB (or something similar like Redid.or Cassandra), as opposed to a traditional RDBMS? (I just want to get a good handle on the issues).

Furthermore, is there a particular reason you picked MongoDB over the other NoSQL solutions?

Also, in terms of actually persisting the temporary models to MongoDB, I can just use PyMongo and store the dicts themselves - and just user a nested dict to represent all the model instances from a given import file. Any issues with that approach?

Thanks for the tip about using asynchronous processing for the import file - I didn't think the file would be that big/complex to process, but I suppose it's probably the better approach to do it all asynchronously, instead of just hoping it won't grow larger I the future. In this case, I suppose I can just use Ajax on the page itself to check on the status of the queue?

Cheers,
Victor
