Cannot write to database while cron job is running

Question

Dear guys,
I have a scheduler ( ir.cron ) that runs a function that will send email to some users.
Basically, everytime my code send the email to the user, it will write to each object ( email_sent = True ) so that the next time the scheduler run it won't send email to that user again.
But when I check, the database will only be written after the scheduler has finished running( All emails has been sent )
I need it to write to database everytime the email is sent to each user.
Anyone know how to

In order to save the save the data between the scheduler run you can use *cr.commit() *below the code of mail send*. *
Or
in *mail.mail* object's send method you can pass *auto_commit* to *True*. Here is a sample code
self.pool.get('mail.mail').send(cr, uid, mail_ids, *auto_commit=True*, raise_exception=False, context=context)

Hi Atul, I can't comment on your submission ( not enough karma ) .
And btw, using  cr.commit() actually works. But from what from what I read, it is actually not recommended to be used.
Refer here : https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/what-is-the-cr-commit-risk-how-to-safe-db-write-60885

I haven't tried the *auto_commit = True *as I am using ir.mail_server object to send email. Will try later.
Thank you !
