Know when you have a lot of objects relying on some database information, but there’s no way to tell whether that information has been changed? I’m not talking about the majority of data in a database, just the little bits that help the application start itself. As an example, a distributed tax calculation application, where each accountant uses it to manage his clients. However, when it loads, it reads some critical information - tax rates, for example. These don’t change often, but when they do, you wouldn’t want to have to tell everyone to restart the application, would you?
