So you would be using sockets to send a list of 1 or more file names (notifications) across the network to other computers?
If so, I am not sure there is any significant performance difference than having the notifications in a database. The only practical difference may be the ease of implementation depending of your expertise with SQL databases or not. Since I assume it is your application that will received file lists from other computers and write them to a user notification folder as well as fetch 'the files' from that folder to check for messages, I don't think you could ever run into any issues where the directory is being written to at the same time it is being read. Even if, the OS essentially handles that for you. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
