## PostgreSQL DBMS_JOB compatibility extension
pg_dbms_job is a PostgreSQL extension to create, manage and use Oracle-style
DBMS_JOB scheduled job. The use and behavior is just like with the DBMS_JOB
Oracle
package.
pg_dbms_job v1.1.0 has been released, this is a maintenance release to fix some
possible wrong behaviors, give control over other ones and improve the
documentation.
- Add configuration directive job_queue_processes to control the limit of jobs
that can be run at the same time.
- Fix insertion failure in job history table when PQSTATUS returned contains
single quote.
- Fix possible case where asynchronous jobs can be executed twice if they are
not removed fast enough from the queue.
- Fix regression test to use latest SQL version of the extension.
- Add limitations on pg_dbms_job use and especially about the NOTIFY queue
size limits. Thanks to Julien Rouhaud for the report.
- Add missing information on how to stop or reload configuration of the
scheduler.
- Add information that unlike with cron-like scheduler, when the scheduler
starts it executes all active jobs with a next date in the past.
- Add information that jobs are executed with the role that has submitted the
job and with the search path was used at job creation time.
To upgrade installed pg_dbms_job version 1.0.1 execute:
ALTER EXTENSION pg_dbms_job UPDATE;
after installing the new version using: `make && sudo make install`
