Thank you, just had time to test this. I wrote a simple sproc that adds a row to a test table. I've created a one step job db = db the sproc is in kind = sql def = SELECT proc_test01_insertrow(); set to run on each minute of every hour every day, starting today 00:00:01 The job, step, and schedule all show as enabled. But it never runs. I've even restarted postgres...what else could be involved?
