I've seen examples where someone did this with DBI_link or some
derivative thereof - where when the table changes queries instantly
see the modified result..

DBI-Link documentation mentions that CSV and ps and Google
output can be used:
  http://fetter.org/DBI-Link.pdf#search=%22dbi_link%20%22
so I'm guessing if he can write a DBI-like adapter for
the text file in question, this would work for him too.
