This would best be asked in a postgres forum, but does anyone happen to know if you can use the socket command in PL/Tcl? I know I can use UTL_TCP in Oracle, and ns_sock* in AOLserver.

Which is why Id like it to be asynchronous/event-based. The AOLserver side wouldn't use any resources until explicitly called upon to do so. I'd settle for something using fileevent if the db and nsd shared the same filesystem, but they don't. I'd be up for trying to figure something out with ns_sock if I could be assured that postgres would have some way of opening up a socket and dumping data to it when triggered by a db event. I think I know enough about Oracle to cobble something like that together. -Titi -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
