Yes, spawn a new thread.

WARNING this can cause havoc if not done properly.  For example, if you
want your seperate thread to be able to read and write data to the
database, you MUST open a seperate connection to the DB.  If your thread
goes away, you MUST close that connection.  There are a couple how-tos
on the site that explain database connections.
