I display a field with at the dataprovider a relation to a view. How do I update Servoy so I can see a new added value to the view, without restarting Servoy? ---

I am not familiar with view but won’t DatabaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase(…) do it for you? ---

hmm, another suggestion but maybe not really preferred: plugins.rawSQL.flushAllClientsCache(…) ---

Thank you. That did work. Can you explain me, why it is not preferred? ---

It is documented when I am not mistaken. It can be an expensive operation because it really flushes all cache… But when it does the job and you are happy with it I would say: go ahead ![:)]( "Smile") ---

It’s a bit strange that the DatabaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase() didn’t do the trick. What syntax did you use ? ---

I build a test form where I tested DatabaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase. The view was updated. But in my application a record of the view must be updated en that updated record containts a name. I show on my form, the name in the view by a relation. That is where DatabaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase doesn’t work. ---

I solved the problem. I have to update the view and refresh the relation. databaseManager.refreshRecordFromDatabase(relationname.foundset, -1) relationname.relookup()
