Thanks for the prompt reply. Just to clarify: you are saying that the function that is called with a given periodicity must be so from *outside* PG, ie, from the client application, right? I mean, there is no way strictly internal to PG to have a function be called every given number of seconds? Cheers, Jon
That's right. PostgreSQL has no built in scheduler feature. PgAgent is designed to cover that need, so you should probably start there. -- Craig Ringer POST Newspapers 276 Onslow Rd, Shenton Park Ph: 08 9381 3088 Fax: 08 9388 2258 ABN: 50 008 917 717 http://www.postnewspapers.com.au/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
