Hi Danimal, Jeah I already do the same, I have a "original" and a "converted" table so I can reprocess them etc... I've found active_queue: http://github.com/starling/active_queue/tree/master Sounds like a perfect match, but can't get it to work... Seems that nobody has a need for it :-) Maybe the thing with another Database Table with status isn't such a bad thing as i thought.... maybe another archive table with the "converted" records should't be a bad idea, right?
