More Warnings

• Databases should not have data files in Coda.

• Data may be lost if the writing process fails.

• Processes on other machines may not see data.

• But this warning applies only to databases
  managed by daemons which leave them open.

For this reason, Coda is not in general a good place to store databases. If the writing process aborts, or the client reboots, data that has been written may be lost. If you intend to share data across machines, you may have problems when a file is open.

Note that this applies only to data base files which get left open by their managers; Berkeley DB-style databases are usually OK, as are others which get closed after being changed.
