Hi,<br>
Quantum has sqlalchemy>0.6.4 and nova has SQLAlchemy>=0.7.3.
From what I read version 0.7.8 and 0.7.9 have memory leak fixes.
I'll try and update to one of these and we'll cross our fingers.<br>
Thanks<br>

Hi,<br>
There have been a number of issues regarding unit tests as of
late - the main problem being that they are taking too long.
The reason for the increased test time was using a file
instead of memory. I have tried a number of things to improve
the test times but to no avail (for example defining the
pragma cache which I understand uses mmap for the file - this
reduced the time of an average test from 4 seconds to 2
seconds. When using memory this was 0.10 secs). I have
reverted them back to the in memory and suggest that we
discuss on how to tackle the problem in the future. I think
that it is better that we have the tests running and try and
work on a better long term solution off line. I guess that we
can discuss this at summit. Please look at - <a
