can multiple processes write to same db?

[ralyodio]

I've found issues when multiple process update flat json files...sometimes the file will get corrupt.

I'm curious if nedb has solved this or if I should be careful not to update the database asynchronously or from multiple processes.

Hello, the answer is no, you should never access the same nedb instance from multiple processes. Typically it would not work, as the first process will get a lock on writing to the data file.

is it possible to wait for the lock to be released?

There should definitely be an unlocking mechanism since this is an essential feature.
