NAME

notify Signal all frontends and backends listening on a relation

SYNOPSIS

notify relation_name

DESCRIPTION

notify is used to awaken all backends and consequently all frontends listening on the relation relation_name. This can be used either within a tuple level rule as part of the action body or from a normal query. When used from within a normal query, this can be thought of as IPC. When used from within a rule, this can be thought of as the alerter mechanism.
