|
pgear is intended to simplify the use of PostgreSQL notification
|
|
events. It listens for an event and in response to each occurrence of
|
|
the event, performs an action. The action consists of running a
|
|
command with the function system(3) or of running SQL, at your option.
|
|
|
|
Possible use cases:
|
|
|
|
- The cached value of some lengthy calculation has been cleared; the
|
|
response is to perform the calculation and put the new value in
|
|
cache.
|
|
|
|
- A new customer signed up on your web site; the response is to send
|
|
her an email.
|
|
|
|
- Stock of a product fell below a threshold; the response is to
|
|
transmit a purchase order to the supplier.
