can MySQL send a command?

[Remy Wiersma]

Hi All,

As I am new to MySQL please forgive me when I ask something stupid. :)

Is it possible that when I send a XML file to the MySQL DB the DB will give a command (signal/request) to a third party software that there is an new file added to the DB?
Or can MySQL send the files it receives to another program.

We have software which works with MySQL as an DB but we would like to print out an label when a XML is send to the DB. With API it will take minutes befor you can print, maybe MySQL can be set in a way it notice the other software when a XML is added so this software can get the XML out of the DB and create a label to print.

Anybody a idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!
