[Gmod-help] Re: [Gmod-gbrowse] Database crash when loading genotypes

Database corruption shouldn't happen under any circumstances -- it shouldn't
be possible for a client program, like Perl, to corrupt the tables. However,
if you are using the bulk loader, I can imagine there might be heavy-load
related problems if the network connection is flaky or you are using a
database whose tables are mounted via NFS.
