are notification services correct for my needs? Steve

sql server notification services:
We will have about 10 clients apps connecting to our data store. When one
client changes a record or in any way modifies the data store I would like
to have the other clients get that data.

So I can either have the clients poll the data store asking for changes or I
thought this might be a good use of notification services. I downloaded the
PPT file about notification services and it gave me the impression that it
was designed for much larger scale applications, that to use it for my needs
might be overkill.

To take it one step further, I would like to push the new data to the client
only if their current query matches the data that has been modified, for
this, again.. notification services seem to be appropriate.

If you have any suggestions either way, I would appreciate them.

Thank you,
Steve

Hi Joe, thanks for the response!

Query Notifications sounds PERFECT, very exciting stuff. I will wait for
ado.net 2.0. There might even be a beta that I could get involved with to
start the development.

Thanks again!
Steve

Hi Steve -

The scenario you described sounds like a very good implementation for
SQLNS. As I'm sure you noticed in your research, SQLNS is a framework
for rapidly building and hosting highly scalable notification
applications. Even if you don't necessarily need the scalability
aspect, you can still benefit from the development framework and what
it has to offer (scheduling, retries, event providers, etc).

Having said that, you may also want to check out Query Notifications
in ADO.NET 2.0. If you can wait until Nov 7th, it may even be a better
solution for you.
