I think the only way to synchronise a progress bar is to control the loop from within your form and to 'refresh/increment' the progress bar from that loop.

For example:
Loop i from 1 to number_of_records
display_bar(i/number_of_records as a %)
synchronise
update or insert
end loop

The display_bar can be done every update/insert or conditionally done ever 5%, for example.

The key thing is that you have to control the process from the Form, not the database procedure.

Set your cursor to 'busy' then 'synchronize' then start database procedure. When it finishes and returns to the form, set the cursor back to 'normal'.

changing the mouse pointer:
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE,'NORMAL'); --- pointer
SET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CURSOR_STYLE,'BUSY'); -- hourglass

To create a "progress" bar, you will have to re-code your database procedure or create a background process that calls yours database procedure.
