hi,
you have to write to rules
first one (update):
create rule "my_rule" as
on update to table_A
where new.col_A != old.col_A
do
update table_B ...;
second one (notify):
create rule "my_rule2" as
on update to table_A
notify my_rule;
>JB: Second attempt was to "hide" the notify in a function:
>JB:

>JB: ' language 'plpgsql';
The correct syntax...
create function fn_notify ( text ) RETURNS void as '
declare
v_signal alias for $1;
begin
execute '' notify "'' || v_signal || ''"'';
return;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';
...and re-write the first rule
create rule "my_rule" as
on update to table_A
where new.col_A != old.col_A
do
( update table_B ...;
SELECT fn_notify('my_signal'); );
CAVEAT: This rule always returns a tuple:
fn_notify

(1 row)
