Hi All,

Have a design issue relating to handling files.

There is process 1 which churns out a flat file .

Now there is another process which needs to read this file and update the 
information contained into a database.


So how should this be managed ideally ....

This should be done so that there is a race condition that needs to be avoided 
between the write and the read processes.


There should be mutually exclusive access to the file and the other condition 
is that read process which is reading off the file should read the file from 
where it last

left to insert into the database.


Request your inputs on how this can be done efficiently with less overheads as 
performance is key especially for the processing writing information to the 
file.

Thanks and Regards,
Kiran
