I basically have a page that when loads, reads an Oracle SQL table for a specific record id that may not currently exist at the point as it may take up to a minute to insert this specific record into the table.
Based on this, I need a means of showing a "Loading Image" while it waits for the record to exist, so has to wait. Once it does, I want to remove the loading image and present the user with the record details. I am using Oracle Application Express 4.2 for this.
My question is not so much the loading/hiding of the image but how to continually check for the record within the Oracle table, during page load.
Either I receive the record successfully and then hide the image or say after 1 minute, I dismiss the checking of the record and present the user with a message indicating that no record was found.
