It used to be possible to do this with the (slow, locky) table based notification mechanism. Unfortunately FWICT it isn't now and we really ought to expand functionality in that area. I will say though that async notification should thought of as 'best effort'...if you are laying essential communication processes on top of it you need to have the listener respond and be prepare to retry. Another thing, queue size paranoia aside (which is a good way to consider things) I've never had the queue bust on me and I've beat on it pretty hard. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
