[ckan-dev] Rollback when resource creation fails

Wed Apr 6 13:53:35 UTC 2016

You can directly remove a dataset from the database by using
dataset_purge()
<https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/ckan-2.5.2/ckan/logic/action/delete.py#L83>(
which I think exists since CKAN 2.5, but could be backported to older CKAN
versions if needed ).

I think you could also use the "resources" parameter in the
package_create() API action to create some resources in the same API call
that creates the package. Unfortunately, I seem to remember a discussion on
this forum about this only working with "url"-type resources and not with
"uploaded" resource.  Would love to know if there's actually a way of
creating dataset and "uploaded" resource at the same time.

Best,
Alex
