But won't it cause a problem next time I want to upload the updated xls
to the server and then try to import it. Every week a user will upload a
xls with the same name and app has to update the db based on new data.
How will I be able to upload and try to read it again with the same name
on server if file is not released for editing? I am using the
'Spreadsheet' gem for import of data. Is there any other gem available
which may be better option for this functionality?
