I am trying to start an OS executable every time that a table is updated. I know that I should create a trigger on the table, but how do I launch the OS executable. I have a background in sql server. In it we would use something like xsp_execute(). I am looking for the equivalent function call in Postgres.

Resent this email to group after subscribing to mailing list.

Thanks,
Steve
