in reply to Approaches to time stamping request files

How many files will you have? How large will each file be? Are you simply grabbing the entire file, or do you want subsets of fields and records from a file? Will you be doing comparisons between files? ... i.e. Find the offices previously managed by managers who went on to lead sales teams with top 10% performance?

    These files are request files that come in from users of an interactive analytical database system. In theory there could be hundreds coming in every day (even thousands). If I develop this 'minimum time of activation' idea I will be able to automate daily checks that ensure consistency of results coming back.

    Not very large files, they only hold the specification for activations of a stored procedure.
