But what I don't fully understand is how to do this with PQnotifies. Following the docu I get no notifications even though I subscribe to them after successfully connecting to the server the same way I do using terminal. Googling didn't give me examples I was able to use. Please, can someone help?I'm suspecting operator error because using PQnotifies is exactly what psql does. Maybe you could post a small test program? Are you using a mixed case notification name?
Works here in a Pascal program built using Lazarus. You /must/ however, ensure that the session requesting the notification is kept active and is the one that's regularly checked, it's easy to lose track of this in a development framework which isolates you from the low-level handles etc.
