Hi

I have posed this question to the Delphi list but they don't appear
to be able to help.

I am attempting to have the information in a PostgreSQL database
table trigger a function in Delphi.

Not sure what the Delphi stuff was on about - not my field. You've basically got three options for triggering events though:
1. Poll from the client app
2. LISTEN/NOTIFY
3. Some privileged procedural function that writes to a file or sends a packet etc.

Polling is inefficient, and doesn't sound responsive enough for you. LISTEN/NOTIFY might be the best bet if your drivers can support it.
