A number of people have mentioned a job scheduler. I think a job scheduler entirely inside Postgres would be a terrible idea. However a cron daemon which used Postgres as a storage backend would be very cool. It could then provide SQL functions to manipulate the schedule and allow you to set jobs that call database functions using the existing connection instead of forcing you to write an external script. This is something someone could do with no special database background, the hard part is finding a cron source base which is flexible enough to extend to use a database backend. I'm under the impression most cron daemons are based on pretty old and ossified source bases and are burdened by a lot of legacy compatibility requirements. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's 24x7 Postgres support! -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
