So you create a file called "something.new", populate it and then atomically rename it to "something". At all times, scanners will be using either the old or the new data. There's never any time when CDB is unavailable. (This works under UNIX, which has sensible filesystem semantics. It probably wouldn't work well under Windows... but who cares? :)) Regards, David.
