i'd be too afraid to use a solution as unreliable as email.

here's a thought: why not batch it?

your script writes the info to File A. Every 20 minutes, some other
process runs that copies all information from File A to the full database
in File B. That way, FIle B is only accessed once every 20 minutes and
File A never gets large enough for it to cause problems.

whatcha think?
