Hey there, i am using merb for quite a while now, but i am often running across a problem which i always solve in an "unclean" way. the problem is forking a job a user submitted, in my example it's all kinds of reports we generate.
users select different types of reports for our warehouse application, like "send a report of all articles which only have an in-stock value of <= 5 to our merchant". since the data for that needs to be selected over different tables this can be a quite challenging task for my rdbms (postgresql), therefore such a request with our 45k articles which we always have in stock takes about 2 minutes. at the moment, every user has to have his browser window open until the "report finished" page loaded, which is quite dumb since sometimes users accidently close a window or even firefox collapses and then they'd have to do all over again since the request would be aborted. is there any way to give such jobs (which require no further user interaction) into the background? - best regards --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
