Alex,
Thank you for the clarification. Just to make sure we're
understanding each other, I'm actually asking about multiple readers,
each opening and using their own RecordManagers. Your mention of
synchronization leads me to think you're talking about multiple
threads reading from a single RecordManager.
Just FYI, I'm being careful here because I came across a mention of RM
changing files on disk when *reading*, which surprised me (can't find
the link right now)...
Thanks again,
- Chas

Individual concurrent reads are safe. Pretty much everything is
synchronized at the top of level.
However, iterators / tuple browsers are unsafe under concurrent
updates. You would have to synchronize on the RecordManager
instance to maintain a consistent view while iterating.

I've been plumbing around the list archives for a while, but they're
something of a jumble (thanks, Sourceforge!), so I figured I'd open a
new thread to ask:
What level of read concurrency does jdbm support?
What seems clear is that, to be safe, there should only be one thread
writing to a jdbm database (although it appears that it is possible
for multiple threads to participate in a transaction, I'm perfectly
fine with serializing all write access). However, I came across at
least a number of comments that lead me to believe that concurrent
reads are unsafe as well, although they're all from pre-history (e.g.
2001).
Thanks,
