Reload data from database

[Sesa1988]

Hi,

is there a way to reload all data from the database file?

I copy a remote file via my app and want to display the new data but I cant find a way without restarting my app.

Internally there is one but it is not exposed as it is not safe (i.e. what happens if there is a transaction while the copy is in progress)

A safer way would be to:

1. close the db
2. copy the file
3. open the db

Another (even safer) solution would be to use an export. You can even generate an export from a database file (by opening it and exporting it). More info here: https://github.com/tekartik/sembast.dart/blob/master/sembast/doc/storage_format.md#importexport

I have added Database.reload() (that i consider as experimental) in sembast 3.7.3 just published. Let me know if it works
