Hello ! I am coming from Sql Server right now and have to learn about the infrastructure. What I missed first, is, to execute procedures regularly/repeatedly on a given time. I want to prevent my to write a lot external programs und use cron :-( The othing thing is, that I need some internally running procedures, which do some work. On Sql Server, I can use "auto-start stored procedures". Is there anything like this in postgresql, or what can I do? And, is it just possible, to put a message to the syslog and with my own identification string? Thanks so far! br++mabra -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
