Repeat function when finished with Javascript?

Question

Is it possible to repeat a function when it has finished. For Example: I have a Datatable with the following input data:

Name  |  Birthday | Checked
Test1   20.3.2000   Null
Test1   20.3.2001   Null  
Test1   20.3.2002   Null

Now i want the function to Take the first Line where Checked == Null Write something to another table and mark Checked = true After the first call it would be

Name  |  Birthday | Checked
Test1   20.3.2000   True
Test1   20.3.2001   Null  
Test1   20.3.2002   Null

After the second Call

Name  |  Birthday | Checked
Test1   20.3.2000   True
Test1   20.3.2001   True  
Test1   20.3.2002   Null

After the third Call

Name  |  Birthday | Checked
Test1   20.3.2000   True
Test1   20.3.2001   True  
Test1   20.3.2002   True

Data in the table may be manipulated while a call the method so count(*) on Checked while not work as a line may be added inbetween.

The Basic question ist. How can I call a function repeadetly, not with a given interval but after the previous call has completed?

Answer 1

Following code

setTimeout(function, 1000);

Was working in my case. I do not have to wait for the function to finish as the other function cannot access the db before it is finished.

Thx for the input.
