Hi I did not see this feature on the TODO page on the wiki. I apologise if I have overlooked something similar. I would like postgres to have a cron-like feature for scheduling things to happen at particular times. An example of this might be routinely purging data from tables, or vacuuming specific tables. I realise that these can easily be done via cron itself, but I feel an internal implementation would be useful because: * The tasks would live with the database itself and become part of the schema and so are not "forgotten" if the database is moved across clusters or hosts. * Windows doesn't have cron, it uses its own system. This would provide a consistent way of running tasks regardless of platform. I hope this makes sense. Regards Martin A.
