title: Can a SQL trigger call a web service?
body: <p>I'm building out a RESTful API for an iPhone app.</p>
  
  <p>When a user "checks-in" [Inserts new row into a table] I want to then take data from that insert and call a web service, which would send push notifications based upon that insert.</p>
  
  <p>The only way I can think of doing this is either doing it through a <code>trigger</code>, or having the actual insert method, upon successful insert, call the web service.  That seems like a bad idea to me.</p>
  
  <p>Was wondering if you had any thoughts on this or if there was a better approach that I haven't thought of.</p>
