Is it possible to make a call / notification for a C ++ application from Microsoft SQL Server?
To give a more complete picture of what I'm trying to achieve: our database is updated with new information; Whenever a new piece of information is received, we would like to click this on the C ++ application so that its toolbar displays the updated data for the user.
We know that this can be done if a C ++ application polls the database, but I see it as an inefficient architecture and would like SQL to push information or notification in C ++.
Any light sheds in this area are very appreciated!

OK After some reading around Service Broker's external activation, this seems like the right technology to use; however, this is similar to the technology introduced in SQL Server 2008; and unfortunately, we are using SQL Server 2005. Are there any other thought-provoking technologies or architectural projects that we could use?
