For 140.000 people you should use: max_locks 300000 and max_objects 300000 The easiest way to do this is to create an empty database the add a file DB_CONFIG to the database directory before importing (see gramps -l output for the directory of a specific family tree. Contents of this DB_CONFIG file should be:  #may want to fiddle with cachesize also #set_cachesize 0 200000000 2 set_lk_max_locks 300000 set_lk_max_objects 300000  See bug report below.

== GRAMPS = Gramps cannot import media with non-ASCII characters on filename ===
If Python returns a codec/UTF8 warning and this file was pasted from an external support (CD, HD, USB key), maybe filename has been corrupted ! It seems correct on screen but not on command line. Your OS was not able to properly set the encoding used on your external support.
Make The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Specials#Replacement_character replacement character] will be often a "�" (black diamond with a copy of your file from your disk white question mark). You can try to your diskfix the filename by setting the correct character. Now you will be able to import this file into Gramps ! ==Reports ==
If the accentued === Gramps cannot display some characters will be a "?", then fix the filename by setting the correct character. Now you will be able to import this file into Gramps !reports ===
