Hardly --- how's that going to pass a notify name? Also, a lot of people want some payload data in a notify, not just a condition name; any reimplementation that doesn't address that desire probably won't get accepted. There's lots of threads in the -hackers archives about reimplementing listen/notify in a saner fashion. Personally I lean towards using something much like the sinval queue. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
