Re: Scheduling/Automated Jobs in Postgre

This is something that comes up every few months. Core is of the opinion
that you should just use the tools of your OS. Personally, I think some
kind of job system in the database would be very useful, so the last
time this came up I created http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgjob/. No
work is being done on it right now, but if this is something you have an
interest in you should sign up for the mailing list.

These tasks should be automated one i.e) When ever I restart the server the PL/SQL functions I have defined should be executed automatically without my intervention. This is to record some information like Audit Trails and some more.
