Question about availability #113

Closed akordzik closed 6 years ago

Hi,

I have a question about availability during the auto update of GeoLite2 database. Is there any downtime during the update itself?

Thanks!

I am not 100% sure I understand the question, but the database is replaced atomically. If you have an open database, it should not be affected by the update. However, your application may need to close the database and reload it to see the new version. I would suggest that you email support@maxmind.com for more assistance.
