Description: pg_notify() function only works when channel name is
lower case
Details:
When using the pg_notify(text,text) function, the channel name MUST be lower
case otherwise the message does not go through.
So, while this will work:
LISTEN ERRORCHANNEL;
NOTIFY ERRORCHANNEL, 'something!';
NOTIFY eRrorChanNel, 'something!';
this will not:
SELECT pg_notify('ERRORCHANNEL','something!');
You must use:
SELECT pg_notify('errorchannel','something!');
