Database Change Notification in 11g JDBC driver

With the release of the 11g JDBC driver I decided to give Database Change Notification a test drive which is now part of the 11G JDBC driver. I tested this against a 10.2.0.3 database and it worked well, and I can see this being a very popular new feature.

An example and documentation can be found here:

The 11g JDBC driver can be downloaded from here:
