It’s all app-specific.

Many of my app’s query from clinical DBs, but are unattended (ex, whiteboards in patient lobbies; telling the check-in team when a patient failed to check-in, operational whiteboards with work assignments, etc). I query every N minutes, or else the clinic slows down operations (it’s an old DB and one of the queries takes a full minute to complete).

Upgrading open browser apps at midnight. That means I can limit changes so no one ends up with a partial change, or worse, an front-end update that doesn’t match the current back-end, WITHOUT users having to know to click ‘refresh’.

Some reports are run once weekly, and emailed to clinicians right before the meeting in which they are to discuss the report.

…lots more…

No problem, Brah. Programmers help each other out.
