Hi Jim,

Thanks for that answer, that is perfect! These newsgroups are such a good resource for discovering ideas and creating new ones! Thanks to everyone for making it such a good resource.

I'll definately be looking into alerts then!!

If anyone could tell me about or point me in the right direction concerning the "Simpler" possibility that Jim mentioned, that would be great. I'm just getting started so simple is fine for me at this stage. I do like Jims idea though and will definately be aiming to get onto that stage asap.

One question i did have and would be really grateful if someone could help with is that i understand a client will be notified when an alert goes off in the database. But how does the message get from server to clients? How do I get a client to register its interest in oracle alerts? Is it done via sockets? What else should I be looking into?

Thanks all

Take care
