Again, I STRONGLY advise you NOT to use a thread for your animation.  The
code you have shown is NOT thread-safe, and the drawing code DOES NOT
benefit from being in a thread to begin with.

Then I suggest you not perform your database operations in the context of
the main thread to begin with.  Rather than moving your animation into its
own thread, move your database code to its own thread instead.  The main
thread will then be free to do whatever GUI operations you want while the
database is busy.
