What is the use of insertLazy() in GlideRecord?

[Pranshu3]

Hi,

I was going through one of the OOB script includes : PerspectiumLogger,
when I came across the use of lgr.insertLazy() for var lgr = new GlideRecord("u_psp_log_message") in log function.

Could you please explain the difference between insertLazy and insert methods in GlideRecord?

Thanks!

HI Pranshu

This seems to be an undocumented (and maybe legacy) function.

I just can imagine, speaking of logging functions, that the record will not be saved to the DB immediately.

There are other DB Systems on the market, where a "lazy-writer" takes records from the transaction log to the DB file, only when there is no heavy load on the database.

For me, it looks to something like that.

I would recommend NOT to use it in your scripts, as it is undocumented, and I cannot find any useful information on that in the docs, etc.

If this answers your questions or is helpful, give me a vote.

You'd need to raise a case on HI to get an official response around this undocumented function.

I've never heard of it before.
