Thanks, --DD
This is a well worn topic within the postgres community, with a number of different implementations, but a couple of links that are probably worth looking at would be: - https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGQ_Tutorial, probably the first queue system that gained wide adoption - https://brandur.org/river, a new queue system based on postgres/go, which also has a link to an article about why the authors had ditched postgres based queueing in favor of redis some years before which is worth a read to understand some of the issues that Postgres has as the basis for a queue system. And yeah, I suspect this may become a hot topic again now that Redis is moving away from open source: https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing/ Robert Treat https://xzilla.net
