I have a load component with a grid in it and a user-triggered action that could insert/update the database table that my grid's based on. Depending on many factors, the database insert could take a long time, say 45s+. I would like to update the view to show the updating grid while the inserts are going on rather than having a stagnant page that looks like it's not doing anything for 45s+. So I created a scheduler and am doing the db inserts in a scheduler task. But I'm not sure what the best way is to update the view. I know that I could use the 'times' and 'timeout' parameters in the LOAD. Or I could poll in javascript using setInterval to call web2py_component. But is it burdensome to always have my page updating this, say every second? The scheduler task for my db inserts only happen when the user clicks something; at all other times it is unnecessary to reload the grid. Is there a way to make the view constantly update on the user's click but once the scheduler task has completed (i.e. finished inserting into the database) to stop the view from updating?
