Database as an IPC

In computer programming, Database as an IPC is a term used for the inappropriate use of a database to communicate information between processes (inter-process communication). Usually one process will update database records and another process will check those same records (often very frequently) for changes and act accordingly. The end result is poor performance and unnecessary work for the database. Systems using a database in this fashion often behave as if they are under heavy load at all times. This approach to interprocess communication is therefore often considered an anti-pattern.
