There is some work in 9.3 that will give low-level infrastructure support to allow the concept of a "job/task scheduler" in Postgres, which is the generic description of the facility you're looking for. It is early days, but that will emerge sometime in 9.3 or beyond. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
