Is there (or would we need) a way to specify access privileges for such a daemon in pg_hba.conf, and would that allow controlling the access privileges for each job or the user who sets it? (ISP's would want tight controls here.) If the answer to both questions can be 'yes', this probably gives us most of what the Oracle jobs feature does. -- Mike Nolan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org
