Is there a way to return a `Flow` from a query?

```flow {
    transaction {
    //...
    }
}```

I mean you can wrap the query into something that returns a flow

A query itself is a one-time event that works fine with just using a suspend function

I think I phrased it wrong. What I meant is to emit new data whenever the database table gets updated.

That is indeed a very different thing :slightly_smiling_face: I do not think it comes out of the box

Perhaps you can check how it works on the database you are using, like postgresql has listen/notify

perhaps someone already made a library (quick google <https://github.com/Benjozork/exposed-postgres-extensions> ) to help with that

and then you can wrap the results in a flow or whatever

Yeah I thought there was a solution out of the box. Thank you for your help! :smiley:
