Hi,
Real-time update is an upcoming (exciting) feature of GQI that will allow data to be refreshed without the need of adding triggers to GQI components.
Since the feature is not yet released, I would like to know what's the "Update Data" option for these days. Particularly, which components have an impact when enabling this option.
Thanks!
This setting will, when enabled, and when the gqi data supports it, refetch the query when the data could have been changed. I'd like to stress the 'could', as it's not guaranteed to result in a different table. An aggregation for instance could still lead to the same result.
The support in gqi is also very limited. Only parameter data sources support this.
When a parameter retrieved by the query changes its value, the client will be notified and refetch the entire query, with a minimum of 30s buffer between multiple updates.
You can consider it as a smart invisible trigger feed, because it will only do a refetch when there could have been a change in the data. When it's certain nothing changed, no refetch will be done.
Good to know: The realtime updates will be behind this same setting.
Thanks Gilles!
