Database Events?

Wondering if it's possible to get an event from sql 2000. That is, instead
of polling every few seconds and refreshing my application, can I register
to receive notification of an update/insert etc?
Thanks,
Mikelookup sp_addalert in BOL. If you know the event ID, you can do this or you
can roll your own raiserrror

1. Create a user defined message using sp_addmessage (Refer books online)
2. Create an alert using sp_add_alert (Refer books online) using the message
id create in step 1 3.
3. Create a Operator using sp_add_operator (Refer books online)
4. Create a notification using sp_add_notification(Refer books online) - It
can be Email, Netsend or Pager message
5. In the stored procedure just use RAISERROR (msgid, 16, 1) where ever
required. This will internally call the above 4 steps and send the alert.
Note:
Above steps can be created using Enterprise manager as well.
Thanks
