Hmm, I guess I could see that as long as the DB wasn't too [write] busy, else you'd be flooded with notifications.

Sure. But this could be resolved by allowing notifications to be batched together. Debounce them. So could maybe configure how often you want such notifications and if they are more often they would be combined together into one.

 

Maybe it's a useful idea for you ... or maybe not. 😊

Thanks. Yes, this is one approach to do it. Hooking into every modify call at the app level and in this way have some information what is changing. I would prefer doing it in the database though, so that it could be independent from the source of the change. Moreover, not all UPDATE queries really do end up updating the data.
