Hi,

I need some info on text and xml files......

How many users can simultaneously read a text or xml file...

I've a web appliaction which needs to access a text file and a xml file..

The current users of the system are around 1000 people...

Can 500 amongst them read those files simultaneously??
Does it affect the performance of teh applcation in any ways.....

Help required on the above query...

Most file access are blocking calls - if a file is opened for writing, it
gets locked. Reading also has implicit locks - but these are released sooner.

For 500 simultaneous users, you better look at SQL Express or SQL Server
instead of the file system if you care about performance.

Regards,
Pandurang
