See -- <http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-notify.html> for more -- information. -- -- Note that on Windows, @getNotification@ currently uses a polling loop -- of 1 second to check for more notifications, due to some inadequacies -- in GHC's IO implementation and interface on that platform. See GHC -- issue #7353 for more information. While this workaround is less than -- ideal, notifications are still better than polling the database directly. -- Notifications do not create any extra work for the backend, and are -- likely cheaper on the client side as well. -- -- <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7353> -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- module Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Notification ( Notification(..) , getNotification , getNotificationNonBlocking , getBackendPID ) where import Control.Concurrent import Control.Monad ( when ) import Control.Exception ( throwIO ) import qualified Data.ByteString as B import Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Internal import qualified Database.PostgreSQL.LibPQ as PQ import System.Posix.Types ( CPid ) data Notification = Notification { notificationPid :: !CPid , notificationChannel :: !B.ByteString , notificationData :: !B.ByteString } convertNotice :: PQ.Notify -> Notification convertNotice PQ.Notify{..} = Notification { notificationPid = notifyBePid , notificationChannel = notifyRelname , notificationData = notifyExtra } -- | Returns a single notification.
