How is it possible to find out when an event has been posted without
using IBX event alerter components?? I am using C# with the
Firebird .NET data provider. Events are the most useful feature of
Firebird to me. I am using many clients that need to know when
certain tables have been updated. Any help would be apprecieted!
Thanks
