Thanks to everyone for your great answers I have looked into pg_cron, jpgAgent and pgAutomator and enjoyed (j)pgAgent + pgAdmin so far
pg_cron looks great but rewrite my 346 jobs seems painful Adam your tool is really nice and I would be glad to help on this project, btw I am not a developer but I would like to start to code as well Regards Juliano > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Alternative to pgAdmin Postgres Manager that support > pgagent (jobs) > Local Time: 20 October 2017 4:14 AM > UTC Time: 20 October 2017 03:14 > From: adambrusselb...@gmail.com > To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org <pgsql-general@postgresql.org> > > I'm currently in the same boat that I wish there was something better > for running jobs against Postgres than pgAgent. > Using pgAdmin to manage my numerous jobs isn't the best experience > i've ever had to say the least, but it does work.
