So, suppose I manage inventory.... I want an email to go out to the ordering manager when the quantity I have of an item drops below the re-order point. I also want this email NOT to go out if the transaction rolls back. (Wait, the order of 50000 widgets I just processed rolled back because it isn't to a valid customer! We normally only sell 50000 per year anyway. No need for the email.) 1) I don't see how this is possible directly from within PostgreSQL 2) Given the obvious ways around this, I don't see why this is desirable to add to PostgreSQL.....
