While I am here, do not set the default timelag to too small a number.
Thank you Sam.
I see that some advice on the timelag used smallish number, like "2",
as if that meant 2 seconds, but the documentation states that the
times are in milliseconds so I'll try something more realistic.
I'm not sure that the lag setting is going to help as Art's post
implies that the lag only applies on the creation of a new ec. I was
looking for something that would ensure that an update (ie, a fetch)
would get current data. It looks like the lag setting only promises
that a new session will get data that is current at the time the ec is
first used. Thereafter it will be up to an hour out of date. I'm
surprised that this isn't made easier. Surely I'm not the only one
who needs to be confident that the screen display indicates what is in
the database, not merely what WAS there an hour ago.
I still feel you should look at Change Notification.
