Solved How does "$ thread" work?

[LordBoos]

Hello, how does "$ thread" work?
Does it run all following lines in the new thread or just one single following line?

If I have something like:

on join:
    set {_player} to player
    $ thread
    set {_isset} to text from url "someUrl/statistics?a=isset&player=%player%"
    set {_now} to text from url "someUrl/statistics?a=now"
    if {_isset} is "1":
        $ thread
        update "UPDATE `playerstatistic` SET `lastlogin`='%{_now}%' WHERE playername LIKE '%{_player}%'"
    else:
        message "NIC"
        $ thread
        update "INSERT INTO `playerstatistic` (`playername`, `lastlogin`, `lastlogout`) VALUES ('%{_player}%', '%{_now}%', '');"

Are "$ thread" above SQL updates necesary, or is it sufficient to have "$ thread" at the start?

It only applies to the very next line.
