Pete, Thanks for your prompt reply. I have a somewhat related question. I have implemented pagination with a data table. However, my data does not refresh when a database update happens. Do I need to do anything specific for it to happen automatically. I have a refresh link which the user can use to reload, however this is not a nice way of doing it. Any suggestions.
