sure, I get that, especially in regards to procedures. a server ticker though is a pretty small thing and it's fair to ask if maybe that should be exposed instead of (or perhaps in addition to) a job scheduling system. a userland scheduling system has some advantages -- for example it could be pulled in as an extension. it would have a very different feel though since it would be participatory scheduling. i guess it really depends on who's writing it and what the objective is (if anyone is willing to rewrite cron into the postmaster, by all means...) merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
