The framework I am using is PGSQLKit for Mac OS X for which the source was available and which I downloaded and altered since. Actually it gives you access down to the pqlib calls. The connection being closed was one of the issues. I had added convenience classes with class methods to the framework. The connection was kept in the background with its credentials and settings in place, but only opened on a per-request basis and closed afterwards which I changed now and now it works. As to mixed case, no, it was all lower case, but using terminal for verification I had taken this into consideration so for listener and notifier to match.

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.

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. > > -- > Mark Morgan Lloyd > markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk > > [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] > > -- > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
