I did not read The Great Merlyn's article, but I have a simple solution for you.

The script that is inserting records into the database should append lines to a HTML-formatted logfile, which should be given out by another script using CGI.
The script should use the META REFRESH tag until it finds a special EOF (or whatever) sign in the logfile. It is possibly not a solution however, if you want to see a lot of information of each insert.
