Are you talking about modifying the driver to generate and deliver
events when there is a notification (as in PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY)
on a connection?  If so, that's an interesting feature and it would
be interesting to see a patch.

It's not what we've been discussing on this thread, though,
regarding Timer and threads.  We're talking about implementing this:

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Statement.html#setQueryTimeout%28int%29

Have you implemented something for that?  I don't think your
concerns about timer events bunching up really applies a whole lot
to this -- these would be one-shot timers; we're not talking about
using an interval.
