[Quoted] You could write a trigger and use the dbms_alert package and have a thread onthe client wait on the alert. Youmight want to be a little more intelligent about it and limit to only what the client is interested in. (e.g. do they really need to know a change occured if the schedule changed next month and they are looking at this month?)
