Printing from App Window - Data from Oracle DB on Linux
We have Oracle DB running on Linux.
When the data is ready for communication, the value is placed into a table in the database.
Currently the application has to run every 10 seconds to check the value and if it will print a report there. NOT prety.
How to do it?
I'm kind of assuming that Oracle DB is somehow starting the Windows server for printing (TCP / IP? A small service listening on a window window) so that the Windows application only kicks in when it's time to get the job done.
How can you make the Linux / Oracle system "signal" the Windows window?

Actually, a survey is a pretty fast, cheap, sustainable and, most importantly, a implemented method to achieve your goal.
Remote triggers initiated by db are surprisingly sexy and it can be as simple as using cups with Samba and printing directly from a Linux box. Or it can be as complex as a full two-way RPC with error checking.
Either way, don't fix things that aren't broken.
