[Zope] uncatalog_object question

[Jonathan Hobbs]

I have a ZCatalog which contains about 850k entries. Each entry is a zclass
instance which is NOT 'catalog aware' (ie. catalog_object was used to
explicitly add the record to the zcatalog).

The records exist in the zcatalog and I can access a single record's
data_record_id_ by:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('recid', '1049298593')">
<dtml-in "Catalog({'master_recid' : recid})">
   <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('drid', data_record_id_)">
</dtml-in>
drid= <dtml-var drid>

Displays:

drid= 17223047659

All is well, so far... I now want to remove the record from the ZCatalog:

<dtml-call "Catalog.uncatalog_object(recid)">

generates the following error in my log file:

2004-07-02T11:13:07 ERROR(200) Catalog uncatalogObject unsuccessfully
attempted to uncatalog an object with a uid of 1049298593.

and

<dtml-call "Catalog.uncatalog_object(drid)">

generates the following error in my log file:

2004-07-02T11:21:07 ERROR(200) Catalog uncatalogObject unsuccessfully
attempted to uncatalog an object with a uid of 1722304759.

So, how do you remove a 'non-catalog aware' object from a zcatalog? (this is
the first time I have used non-catalog aware instances, in previous projects
I used catalog-aware objects and just deleted the object in the folder and
the object was automatically removed from the zcatalog).

Thanks for any ideas!
