Handle db events in external programming application

Hello all,

I am in need of detecting when an update/change occurred in the database, but checking it every second by selecting queries is not good as will take, of course, too much process time..

Is there a way of creating a method as an event handler of an event happening inside the database??

Whats the best solution for this? so I could update my VB screen for example only when changes occurr in the database..

thanks in advance,
Thiago.

Thiago,
Do you have access to the database? If you do, just create an insert/update trigger.

Thiago,

I know how to write triggers, but how would you have it notify the VB application that there was a change?
