# 2917 Querying the Files Table in the Configuration Database While File Creation in Progress Causes Error

---

I'm having some problems using stores because of this particular issue:

Accessing the Configuration.Files.CreatedOn column while a file is being created by another session in the same store generates a succession of "0.0 is not a valid Timestamp" error messages. This can be reproduced by starting a backup from one session and concurrently executing a "select * from configuration.files" after setting the files store to the same store where the backup is being created.
