Timer or not Timer

[win]

To view the data in a grid using the method refresh the grid with
timer.
And 'can display data without using a timer, but sending them to the
source without refreshing?

The data to be displayed are inserted into a MySQL database.

The grid is updated with a reference count. Whenever I question the
counter to see if new records have arrived.

I can indicate an 'alternative?

Thank you.
