Radius accounting file scanning and upload to database

[Ming-Ching Tiew]

Actually I was told by the development of such thing ( ie decoupled SQL logging )
in the radius server some time ago, that is a good thing but I am currently using 
my own relay logging and it is already very stable and very fast ( using bulk insert ),
it just suffers the limitation that it is one day late, and thus I have these questions :-

 The radius server method, I believe is also based on scanning a directory
 of files, how does it handle files which are still growing ( ie unfinished files ) ?
 Or it is assuming that the files have been completed ( ie there are no files
which are still active ! ) ?

Cheers
