I would advise against doing this. Each thread should have its own distinct
connection to the database so this defeats that purpose some. I recommend
that you use the OnIdle and figure out a way to do them as non-intrusively
as possible that way. You might consider looking at the TIB_Process
component class to build this on top of.
