SQLite update hook in a multi process application - sqlite

I am using sqlite in a multi process scenario. The sqlite library was compiled with the threadsafe serialized mode (-DSQLITE_THREADSAFE=1).
I want to be notified on datachanges and found sqlite3_update_hook. Every process would register it's own update hook to be notified of changes to the database.
The question now is: If a process A modifies the database, will the update hook of process B be called? Or do hooks only work within the same process or the same connection?
Sadly, the documentation is not very clear about that.

The documentation says:
The sqlite3_update_hook() interface registers a callback function with the database connection identified by the first argument
The database connection is a local object; the hook will not fire for any other connection, in this or another process.

Axoniq Event Handler Resuming from offset

I am looking at the AxonIQ framework and have managed to get a test application up and running. But I have a question about how EventHandlers should be treated when using a store that has persistence in the Read Model.
From my (possible naive) understanding. #EventHandler annotated methods in my Projection class get called from the beginning when first launched. This would mechanism seems to assume that the Projection utilises some kind of in volatile store (e.g. an in memory sql like h2) which is re-created from scratch during the application bootup.
However, if the store was persistent in something like Elastic Search, I would want the #EventHandler to resume from its last persisted event instead of from the beginning event.
Is there anyway to control the behaviour of the #EventHandler in this way?
Axon has two types of Event Processors: Subscribing and Tracking.
The Subscribing mode (which was the default up to Axon 3) will handle events in the thread that delivers them. That means you're at "the mercy" of the delivery guarantees of whichever component delivers the events.
The Tracking mode (which is the default since Axon 4 when using an Event Store or otherwise a source that supports it) will have events handled in dedicated threads, managed by the Event Processor itself. That means events are handled asynchronously from the actual publication mechanism.
The Tracking Event Processor uses Tokens to keep track of progress. These Tokens are stored in a TokenStore and updates as the Processor has correctly processed each incoming event (possibly batched). You decide where those tokens are stored. If you update a relational database, we recommend storing the tokens in the same database, so that event changes and tokens are updated atomically.
If you don't specify any TokenStore, it depends on whether you're on Spring Boot, in which case Axon will attempt to detect a suitable TokenStore implementation for you. Otherwise, it may very well just be an in-memory TokenStore, which causes Processors to re-initialize on every startup (and possibly start from the beginning).
To configure a TokenStore
On Spring (Boot), simply add a bean of type TokenStore with the implementation you want to use
When using Axon's Configuration API, on the EventProcessingConfigurer, use one of the registerTokenStore(...) methods.
When the Tracking Processor starts, it will check the Token Store for previous progress, and continue from there automatically.

Thread execution

I have a web application that checks the user accounts from the database to determine their source. I want to make sure that the thread that goes to check the database runs first without any scheduling algorithm of WebSphere server.
More Clarification:
Even if I define the method at first it takes time to gather all information so I want to make sure that the thread completes getting all the information from the database and proceed to other threads in the server.
Have you tried using javax.servlet.ServletContexetListener.contextInitialized ?
Note that the JavaDoc states "All ServletContextListeners are notified of context initialization before any filters or servlets in the web application are initialized."

Do local db writes happen synchronously or asynchronously?

New to firebase and trying to understand how things work. I have an android app and plan to use the offline support and I'm trying to figure out whether or not I need to use callbacks. When I make a call like:
productNode.child("price").setValue(product.price)
Does that call to setValue happen synchronously on the main thread and the sync to the cloud happens asynchronously? Or does both execute asynchronously on a background thread?
The Firebase client immediately updates its local copy of the data with the new value. As part of this it fires any local (value, child_*) events that are needed.
Sending of the data to the database happens on a separate thread. If you want to know when this has completed, you can register a CompletionListener.
If the server somehow cannot complete the write operation (typically because the write violates a security rule), the client will fire any additional events that are needed to get the app back into the correct state. So in the case of a value listener it will then fire a second value event with the previous value.

Notifying a webservice based on table insert

I have a requirement where third party software running on a desktop will write to a local database and I need to send some of that information to a remote web service. I don't have any control over the thirdparty software that is doing the insert but I can read the database.
My approach is to have a windows service check the local table every second for an insert, if there is an insert send the webservice request. I don't like checking every second but this whole process needs to happen in a short amount of time after the insert. Is there a better way to go about this? Some kind of listener? I don't think I can use triggers.
This will be .NET and SQL Server if that matters.
Try using the SQLDependency class. Implement the onChange method of the class to handle your processing. The following article describes the process of configuring your environment and has some sample code for this.

HTTP triggers for Postgres

I'm trying to write a Postgres trigger such that when a configuration table is updated, a backend component is notified and can handle the change. I know that Oracle has the concept of a web/HTTP trigger, where you can execute an HTTP GET from the Oracle instance itself to a URL that can then handle the request at the application layer. I'm wondering if Postgres (v. 9.0.5) has the same feature, or comes with anything similar (and, subsequently, how to set it up/configure it)?
You could call a Python stored procedure with PL/Python from your trigger and make your http get request using Python's standard libraries.
