Is it possible to watch a database for changes? #503

Closed neocamel closed 8 years ago

This might be a dumb question, but I was thinking it would be pretty neat if making changes to the database would also trigger the watch function. I do a lot of Wordpress dev, and that would be really helpful to have the page I'm working on reload if I make any changes to the content (ie. database) of that page.

This is out of scope for this module (The scope is "Run tasks whenever watched files change."). You can create a grunt plugin that uses this module to watch for db changes in mysql: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql-events
