Re: Scheduled Job at PostgreSQL

Richard,

In a windows environment there are a couple of different ways you could go.
1. You could write a windows service using the .net language of your choice
to poll the database and send an email for you.  2. You could write a script
to check the database and set up a scheduled task (similar to a cron job) to
run the script at a specified interval.

I'm sure there are other options available, but these two are probably the
most straight forward.

HTH,

Kevin

In BSD/Linux systems this is strait forward.  Does Windows have any features
similar to a cron
daemon?  I assume that DOS can be used as scripting language. :-/
