These are probably quite silly questions:

1. Can Postgres initiate any communication to client side?

2. Is there a way to run a timer to fire a trigger in a database in
postgres?

Thanx

IIRC: no. For what reason do you need this? We have LISTEN/NOTITY, is
this a solution?

No, but we have tools like CRON for such jobs. And, a TRIGGER is fired
on INSERT or UPDATE or DELETE, but not on a specific time.
