Run an action on recently added records to a table
asked on
Hi,
I have an INSERT SQL query which is contained within a LOOP action. When the LOOP is completed I need to ask the user if they want to run a task relating to the new records which were just inserted.
My plan at the moment is to have a new field added to the table which the data is being inserted and name it NEW (yes/no). When new records are inserted, the insert query will assign them YES. At the end of the process when the user is asked if they want to see/print the newly inserted records I can then run a select query based on that table where the NEW field = true/1. Once this has run I will set all TRUE fields to FALSE.
Does this method make sense? Am I going about this totally wrong? Is there a better and cleaner way of approaching this? Really happy to see suggestions of simpler coding.
Thanks
Anthony
