texte = This is stunningly simple, which is why I was surprised when it did not work. Have a scenario where updated databases are being FTP'd hourly to my server (from an AS 400 system but that is another story ;-)These DB's are read only. Meaning that NO DATA is updated via the web. I am certain of this because there is simply no templates doing anything but searching them.So like a good WebDna'r I had intended on using a closedatabase or flushdatabases tag to close down the ones in ram each hour and thus the newly delivered db's would open at the next needed viewing.But....Much to my surprise with a flush command, the ones in RAM overwrote the ones delivered! This is obviously not good.It seems I cannot specifically find a tag/way to close DB's with complete assurance that they will not be written to disk first.Am I missing something painfully obvious?All the code I write and I cant get the damn Db to close ;-) oh the irony.AlexMac...
