Traditionally, postgres lets other tools do things they're good at.....
like scheduling scripts to run every hour. :) I seem to recall there was a
postgres-specific scheduler project somebody started, but I cannot seem to
recall what it was called, much less how far along the project was.

Hi,
I have a temporary table in which i store all emails of users who want to
receive a newsletter.
to avoid spamming and to limit the size of this table, i would like to
delete all requests (records) which are older than 72 hours.
i was thinking to execute each hour a stored procedure which will check the
time and date (of now) if it is greater than "registration request time"
stored in this temporary table.
if it is greater, so record will be deleted.
does postgresql have such timer (something like "cron" under unix/linux) ?
thanks a lot,
