Print from a windows App - data from an Oracle DB on Linux -
we have oracle db running on linux.
when data ready report, value placed in table in db.
presently app scheduled run every 10 seconds check value , if it's there prints out report. not prety.
how can make pretty?
i sort of envision oracle db somehow triggering windows server print (tcp/ip? small service listening on windows box) windows app fires when it's time work.
how linux/oracle system "signal" windows box?
actually, polling quite quick, cheap, resilient, , best of - implemented method of achieving goal.
remote db-initiated triggers wonderfully sexy, , simple using cups samba , printing directly linux box. or complicated full two-way rpc error checking.
either way, don't fix things aren't broken.
