Hi Karsten,

  Notify and listen are not standard SQL (e.g. SQL92). Therefore, I think
it is a terrible idea to use it - if you care about using GnuMed with a
different database backend.
  It is a trade-off between convenience/performance(?) and flexability to
use notify/listen vs. implementing the same in GnuMed. I tend to think
flexibility is more important. :-)

Best regards,

Andrew
