In order to get notified should new rows arrive (or current ones updated
or deleted), you can install a trigger which fires a NOTIFY command on a
name (channel).

All other sessions which have issued a LISTEN on the same name (channel)
will receive a notification.

Unfortunately, not all languages and drivers support this.

Recently, I updated the code for pg_listen in the script language Tcl.
It's committed, but no new version released yet.
