Hi,

I’m considering using NOTIFY to let my application react to changes in a table. If I only send the channel name without a payload, could I run into this issue:

1. The table is updated and a notification is sent to my app
2. My app reads the table, but hasn’t sent acknowledgement of the notification yet
3. The table is updated again, but the notification gets dropped because it’s the same as (1), which hasn’t been acknowledged by the app

If this happened then there would be new data in my table but my app wouldn’t read it until the next time there was an update.

Thanks
