Hi Frediano


    Thank your for timely reply.

    For query notifications, it depends a SQL Server ODBC 
driver<http://www.easysoft.com/products/data_access/odbc-sql-server-driver/index.html>
 which is not free.

    For trigger, I need to implement a program in windows to subscribe the 
notification

and then transform this information to Linux. This might be a backup method.


    Is there a way to use open source to implement this requirement?


Thank

One option is query notifications, for instance see

How do I use SQL Server Query Notifications from Linux and 
...<http://www.easysoft.com/support/kb/kb01069.html>

Query notifications, introduced in SQL Server 2005, allow an application to 
request a notification from SQL Server when the results of query change.



The other option is triggers, see
