I like this solution...... Looking at the second one I proposed, I think that it actually would end up just running once an hour at 15 after.... It's amazing how things look a lot different at midnight and 2pm in the afternoon.

Try this one instead: trunc(sysdate) + (trunc(to_number(sysdate - trunc(sysdate)) * (60/15*24)) / (60/15*24)) + 1/(60/15*24) Guaranteed to run every 15 on the 15. At least I think so... The algorithm comes courtesy the TOAD group from Quest, via the TOAD mailling list, and us here at QTI.
