OK, thank you. Yes we have a more native tool - the "at" service on NT/2K.
I wanted to boundle it into the application because I don't like to place
parts of the application outside the application. I wrote a scheduler
service sepcialy for the applications tasks. It works fine, but I thought
this should be inside the server.
Thak you,

Traditionally, PostgreSQL has consciously omitted such things where they
would merely be replicating existing operating system functionality.
On Unix, "cron" is the traditional service that provides this functionality.
I think there's a port to Windows NT, so you could presumably use that if
you haven't got any more "native" job scheduler.
