I did look around for some queuing systems a year ago, I am not sure if
that one crossed my path, but didn't find any that I thought would work
for me, which might just be due to the fact that I had just started with
database programming (which was also the reason I chose a framework like
Django for most of it; the FOR UPDATE SQL is one of less than 10 locations
where I use raw SQL in my system, because Django could not provide the
functionality) and I just did not realize that it could help me.
Regarding PgQ, based on a quick skimming I am not sure how it would fit in
my case. This may be because the tutorial leaves (IMO) a bit too much up
in the air regarding how the system it is working in is organized, at
least for a relative beginner as myself, and also not how a similar
alternative system would look. A small complete example showing all the
tables involved, the client(s), the server(s), and the operations
performed, might have helped.
