Postgresql important feature request

Your ZeosLib DBO Version: latest
The IDE you are using: Delphi
Version (and maybe patchlevel) of the IDE:
The database you are using: PostgreSQL
Version of the database: 7.4 and up
Used protocol:
[hr]Error description and post

The Postgresql side of things really needs to have notification support.
Currently if you execut a function that uses raise notice, zeos has no way of getting that notice from the server.

The commercial PostgresDAC supports this, they have a event on the connection/database component called OnNotice, and it fires when notifcations are available.

I would love to start using Zeos again but can't until this feature is implemented.

Thanks,

Snorkel

Yes I agree with you, also Firebird and Interbase (and Oracle??) has an event which is maybe similiar with Postgresql notice. So it will be very useful for Zeos to has this feature.

Cipto,

Have a look at the downloads section. I was able to recover the old ZIBEventAlerter which is exactly what you're looking for when you're using IB/Firebird.

Next thing to do on this subject is to send the 'IB' part of the name to the dbc layer, so PG users can hook in and use the same ZEventAlerter Component.
And add this component to SVN/releases, of course.
