Well, you're up against the minimalist approach to core PostgreSQL there. It would pretty much *have* to be an optional add-in, even if it was stored in pg_catalog. I can see a lot of uses for a back-end job scheduler myself, but it would need to go through the gauntlet of design criticism first <wry grin>. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
