So I have this situation where I have these formulas in my database that are based on the current date. Whenever a record is viewed, the formula is evaluated and the value in the database is updated with the result.
For example, calculating someone's age based on their birth date. Each time you view the record, the person is just a little bit older. The granularity of the calculation can be down to the second, so it's not used just for ages, which could easily be updated only once a day if that were the only use case. Now that I have peer-to-peer sync working nicely, I've come across this situation. When replication completes, I refresh the screen with the updated data from the remote peer, thus causing the age calculation formulas to be evaluated and hence updating the data in the database again. And now I get an infinite game of ping-pong happening with the replicator. I'm not quite sure how to handle this situation since I do want the results of the calculation to be synced, but I don't want the refresh to trigger the calculation again. Any interesting strategies to handle this kind of situation would be great to hear about.
