Hi, Is it possible to set an alarm within a PL/pgSQL function? By "alarm" I mean a function which is invoked some defined time in the future, even after the original function has terminated and returned a value to the client. I want an invocation of function FOO to set a "state" column of a given table row to "temporary". After a predefined period (say, one hour), function BAR should then automatically be invoked; this latter function would among other things change the "state" column to "permanent".
