Title: RE: dbms_job - running jobs every 15 minutes

LOL..... You are right about the job_scheduler in early 9i.....

Had all sorts of problems when I first started moving stuff to

9.0.1 and 9.0.2 and Oracle was no help figuring out what the

problem was.

 

I use cron all the time, but I love the job scheduler for things

like starting parallel PL/SQL threads, etc.... It's just so easy! ;-)

 

Hey, I *LIKE* retro, listen to the 80's station all the time!

Robert,

 

I have solid reasons not to trust dbms_job ... it didn't work reliably in 901x. Call me retro ... but "cron" rocks ...
