LISTEN/NOTIFY looks like a synchronisation mechanism. You can notify a subscriber that something happened.

I'm not sure how to use LISTEN/NOTIFY for that. -- Johan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
