Question

I try to display a number of executed record on the forms screen
while a cursor loop statement is running. (the cursor statement is in server)
And i used the 'when-timer-expired' trigger in forms developer.
it was possible to update the count of executed record to a temporary table,
but it didn't work to dislay the result on the forms in real-time .
only on time the trigger was executed when the cursor loop was finished.
Does anyone know the method of showing the count in real-time???

Answer 1

If I understand you:
- You created a procedure in the database that uses a cursor to process one record at a time.
- This procedure updates a temp table that indicates the current record being processed.
- While the procedure is running you created a repeat timer that queries the temp table and displays in the form the current record being processed.
Now, you say that the timer only executed once after the database procedure was finished. Is that your problem?
If so, I think you may have to start the procedure using the database scheduler. Then use a repeat timer to query the temp table. Your procedure will need to indicate in the temp table when it is finished so you can stop the timer. (There may be another way to check if the procedure is done. For example, the database may provide some means to indicate that the procedure in scheduler is done.)
