Trying to learn so my apologies if I use terminology in a wonky way. If I have a model and the data for the model is going to be kept in a database but the database will be updated based on an XML file somewhere. I don't want to read the XML file often because it is a shared resource so I only want to update the database if the greatest timemodified is < the modify date of the file.
Is the best way to do this in the view when I try to read the database if it needs updating call a function? If so, where should this function live in a controller preceded by _ (eg _update_database)?
