Hi,

You could just bootstrap the database, but not all the modules will be loaded, and you may not get back the same results, as you would in drupal.

What the other problem could be that it is doing a lot in hook_init() which you could skip by defining MAINTENANCE_MODE as update.

see http://api.drupalecommerce.org/api/drupal/drupal--includes--common.inc/funct...

Gordon.

If I just bootstrap the database, error will be shown:

...

Call to undefined function node_load()

Also, the MAINTENANCE_MODE tricks seem help, will do more analysis later on. Thanks.
