Yeah, I can see why that would get caught up, and it looks like that project hasn’t been updated in a while so it may be defunct. There’s several DB Update commands buried in utils/db.py that would get caught up in the new full-text indexing triggers. In theory, disabling the triggers before running the IMDB updater then reenabling them after would work, especially since the updates don’t run afoul of Volts’s observation above, though that relies on making changes to the live-running copy and coordinating those changes between your commands and the program.
Alternately, you could modify the python script to wrap all the update commands appropriately (since all updates are to the same metadata_items table and all invoke the same db_execute method from line 94, you could theoretically insert two drop-trigger commands just before line 96 and the two create-trigger commands right after line 96), but that’s done at your own risk.
