/*
Below you will find a self-contained Go program which uses the LISTEN / NOTIFY
mechanism to avoid polling the database while waiting for more work to arrive.
//
// You can see the program in action by defining a function similar to
// the following:
//
// CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.get_work()
// RETURNS bigint
// LANGUAGE sql
// AS $$
// SELECT CASE WHEN random() >= 0.2 THEN int8 '1' END
// $$
// ;
package main

"database/sql"
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/lib/pq"
)

// work here
}
func getWork(db *sql.DB) {
for {
// get work from the database here
var work sql.NullInt64
err := db.QueryRow("SELECT get_work()").Scan(&work)
if err != nil {
