Event listener for MySQL table change?

Viewed 22848

Is there a php/javascript/mysql/ajax event listener or method that can call a function each time the data in a MySQL table changes - such as when a new row is added, or a row changes/is deleted.

Or am I looking at it from the wrong perspective, I'm still learning AJAX.

Just looking to be pointed in the right direction, I couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Edit Basically when a user is sitting on my site, if new data is added to the database on the server from another source (not because of an action of this user), I want to be able to call a function to asynchronously load that new data for this user.
