Question

Can someone post sample code or tell me how to set up a listener to notify me (trigger an event) if a new row is inserted into a SQL Server database?

Answer 1

Trigger sounds best option:

create TRIGGER [tI_Notifier] ON [dbo].[your_table_name] AFTER INSERT
AS 
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    declare @id1 int --or same type as your key
        --declare other variables you want to read from the inserted row

        --read columns values from inserted row
    select @id1 = , @id2= from inserted

    --do something with row's new values

    SET NOCOUNT OFF;
END
