Hi,
I am very new to Oracle, and haven't sokved my problem reading the docs. Maybe somebody knows the answer:

I need to alert a Java applet running on a workstation that the Oracle database (on the server) has been updated. The Java applet would then SQL the DB.

I have read that "triggers" COULD do the trick, but I don't know if this is true. Does somebody knows any way to alert the applet that the DB has been updated? Or maybe the DB could directly send the new values to the applet?
Arggh! I can't figure out what to do!
Please help!

Thanks,
