Hi there, I have a quick and possibly trivial question that has bothered me for quite a while.
I'm using a DBM as a repository. The DBM is constantly written to by only one process (the 'writer') that opens it RW. At the same time, many process (the 'reader') access it *read only*. I experience the fact that the 'readers' never get the last values written by the 'writer'. I suspect a problem of flush for the 'writer', and a problem of synchronisation for the 'reader'. So my question narrows down to : How to flush on disk the cache of a tied DBM (DB_File) structure in a way that any concurrent process accessing it in *read only* mode would automatically get the new values as soon as they are published (synchronisation) Thanks in advance.
