Balance and Pending tables

How long does it usually take for a balance to be written from the pending table to the balance table (or how many confirmations)? I want to display an updated balance to a user as soon as a transaction is mined, so I’m thinking not only looking in the balance table but also in the pending table. Is my assumption correct that the pending tables contain mined transactions that have not reached a sufficient amount of confirmation blocks only and that it does not contain transactions from the mempool?

Exactly - pending means that the tx is in a recent block and we need some additional blocks to be mined to be fully sure it doesn’t get dropped
