Is it possible in postgres to create something like living
objects which 'awake' when their time is 'come' and then take some
action that is coupled to that event like mailing a user. OTOH,
that object should be able to receive 'mail' and change it's
state appropriately.

I know this sounds a bit abstract, but I read that Postgres is
some kind of OODB.

Reason behind: I need something for registering, tracking and auditing
customer bug reports, requests and a lot of other things
you can imagine happening in a company. 

I would prefer the latter over a method querying the database daily,
doing some date comparison, and taking action upon the result.

Another question: Does anyone know of a program called 'Keyfile'
which is supposed to perform similar actions as described.
