Well, the idea behind this is to have events tables, and a monitoring
system polls that table every few seconds. I'd like to have a kind of
FIFO stack. From "the events producer" point of view he'll be pushing
rows into that table, when it's filled the oldest one will be removed to
leave room to the newest one. From "the consumer" point of view he'll
read all the contents of that table.
So I'll not only querying the tables, I'll need to also modify that tables.
