Thanks, I had checked the example before but couldn't make sense out of it in terms of wrapping it in Objective-C. I left it in C now and it works fine.
The trigger I am using now looks like this:
CREATE FUNCTION notify_trigger() RETURNS trigger AS $$
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF ( TG_OP = 'INSERT' ) THEN
execute 'NOTIFY ' || TG_TABLE_NAME || '_' || TG_OP || ', ' || NEW.oid;
ELSE
execute 'NOTIFY ' || TG_TABLE_NAME || '_' || TG_OP || ', ' || OLD.oid;
END IF;
return NULL;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
it works if I remove transmission of the OID. If I do transmit the OID I get
DETAIL: The tuple structure of a not-yet-assigned record is indeterminate.
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "notify_trigger" line 1 at EXECUTE statement
The trigger is firing above function AFTER the TG_OP took place. The error is thrown upon insertion. Doesn't the record exist given I trigger AFTER and not BEFORE the operation took palce?

this with PQnotifies. Following

Googling didn't give me examples I was able to use. Please, can
someone help?
Did you look at the example in the documentation?

Can you post relevant parts of your code?
