And, if your Rails application is single treaded then your sleep_until_processed method could block your entire Rails application never allowing other parts of the application to perform the work necessary to update the pending_orders table. Maybe you should consider offloading this work to a background process using something like delayed_job or similar. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
