L.S.
Either the docs or I are missing something....
While using libpq I noticed that listen/notify calls were being converted to
lowercase. A further look showed that the listen/notify calls seem to be
totally case insensitive:
free4testing=# select version();
version
---------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.4.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC egcs-2.91.66
free4testing=# listen barcode_needed;
LISTEN
free4testing=# notify BARCODE_NEEDED;
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "barcode_needed " received from server process with
PID 32638.
free4testing=# unlisten BARCODE_NEEDED;
UNLISTEN
free4testing=#
Obviously, things work and they probably work as intended, but I wasn't able
to find anything on this behaviour in the docs. For a moment I thought that
the syntax rule 'unquoted letters are forced to lowercase' of SQL applied
here as well, but any double quotes used are simply interpreted as part of
the name.
Any further comments on this are appreciated.

On my 7.4.2 machine, I can get:
sszabo=# listen foo;
LISTEN
sszabo=# notify "FOO";
NOTIFY
sszabo=# notify "foo";
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "foo" received from server process with PID
7042.
sszabo=# notify FOO;
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "foo" received from server process with PID
7042.
So, it looks to me that "FOO" is not being casefolded while FOO is, which
would be consistent with the identifier folding rules.

You had the right idea: the arguments of listen and notify commands are
identifiers. I don't know what convinced you otherwise.
regression=# listen "Z";
LISTEN
regression=# notify Z;
NOTIFY
regression=# notify "Z";
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "Z" received from server process with PID 28818.
regression=# listen z;
LISTEN
regression=# notify "Z";
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "Z" received from server process with PID 28818.
regression=# notify Z;
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "z" received from server process with PID 28818.
regression=#

Ah, this was the one I missed and somehow it confused me:
f4t=# listen "z";
LISTEN
f4t=# notify Z;
NOTIFY
Asynchronous notification "z" received from server process with PID 1800.
f4t=# notify "Z";
NOTIFY
Oh, and of course, _now_ the mentioning of 'identifier' in the notify-docs get
noticed as well ;)
Thanks to the both of you !

Hi, what is the correct way of converting contents of a <string> to
lowercase?
There are no methods of <string> class to do this so I fallback on
strlwr().
But the c_str() method returns a const pointer which cannot be used
with strlwr() as it does the conversion inplace. So, I use the
following logic of copying the contents to a dynamically allocated
char* array and then doing the conversion:

Hi,
For various reasons (parallel structure with existing code, commonality of concepts, etc), we have C language functions implemented that use libpq to make a new connection to the same Postgres server. Yes, I realize libpq is meant for clients and SPI for backends. The question is, are there any technical problems with this? Will using libpq in the backend do Bad Things in unexpected areas/ways?
The environment ranges from:

Hi there,
can somebody tell me if there is a mechanism in db2 which implements
a notify/listen for external db clients?
Postgres has such a mechanism where a client programm can connect to
the db and send a "listen <name>" sql command and then gets a message
if someone in the system issued a "notify <name>".
This way the client does not need to poll the database if it wants
to be uptodate to the current table status.
