what I mean is not really the same feature as SQL Server has, but all features 
regarding reading from a file. I've read your reply to hdf forum as follows:

 True concurrent access to a file when it is being written to is not 
currently supported. We are working to add a single-writer/multiple-reader 
access mode for the next release (1.10.0), but it's not available yet.  The 
current way to have pseudo-concurrent access to a file is found here:

therefore, this H5Fflush is able to handle concurrency for reading a file?

thanks

    HDF5 does not have transactions, concurrency or replication features.  It 
is not a database.  It is designed for storing and sharing large array-like 
datasets in a hierarchically structured file (see 
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/whatishdf5.html for some more details and 
documentation).
