Run python script on Database event

Question

I'm running a python script that makes modifications in a specific database. I want to run a second script once there is a modification in my database (local server).

Is there anyway to do that?

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your answers, i found a solution here:

A Trigger must be defined to call an external function once the DB Table is modified:

DELIMITER $
CREATE TRIGGER Test_Trigger
AFTER INSERT ON SFCRoutingTable
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE cmd CHAR(255);
DECLARE result int(10);
SET cmd = CONCAT('python /home/triggers.py');
SET result = sys_exec(cmd);
END;
$
DELIMITER ;

Here, to call my python script, I use 'sys_exec' which is a UDF (User Defined Function). You can download the library from here: https://github.com/mysqludf/lib_mysqludf_sys
