Hi All,

I am a mid grade coder wanna be. I am wondering if the situtaion implied by the following code listings would be a good place to launch a TThread.

Here are three procedures:

function TCoolCode.GetNextID : integer;
begin
DataSetStoredID.First;
GetNextID := CDSSToredID.FieldByName('ID').AsInteger;
DataSetStoredID.Delete;
DataSetStoredID.Post;
CheckIDCount;
end;

procedure TCoolCode.CheckIDCount;
begin
if DataSetStoredID.RecordCount < 100 then
begin
GetABunch; // Launch In Thread??
end;
end;

procedure TCoolCode.GetABunch; //Threaded??
begin
DataSetAddID.Close
DataSetAddID.Param[0].AsInteger := 1000;
DataSetSAddID.Open;
DataSetStoredID.Add(DataSetAddID.Data);//Psudo psudo code
end;

When Client starts it check to see if it has a saved copy of DataSetStoredID. If not it calls GetABunch; When Client closes it saves a copy pf DataSetStoredID.

When the Client needs a RecordID for a new record it calls GetNextID. If the DataSetStoredID.RecordCount drops below 100, GetABunch is called and adds 1000 records/IDs to DataSetStoredID.

Can I launch GetABunch in a TThread?

Would you launch GetABunch in a TThread?

Should I launch GetABunch in a TThread?

Or will a TThread leave my application dead?

I think enough said, I'm going to bed!

Thanks!

PS Is the poor attempt at poetic posting appreciated or is it bad form?
