Hi,
I'm trying to make my database a client for an external unix based
deamon process acting as a server.
I was thinking of writing some clinet application in a shared
object in the database (same as what we do with socket programing)
that does other Db
related activities as well.
Would be a right thing to do or we have specific tools available in
postgres to accomplish such kind of things.
If I'm understanding what you're trying to do (have a function
connect to an external process?), I don't think anything exists right
now. But it shouldn't be too hard to write something to do that. You
might want to create a generic utility and put it on pgFoundry in
case others find it useful. Oracle has a package that allows for TCP
(as well as other communications) from the database; looking at their
interface might be useful.
