Oracle has a kind of cron built-in called DBMS_JOB.  You can use
it to run SQL or stored procedures at certain times of day, etc.

Does postgreSQL offer anything similar?  And please don't
say use cron.  Cron has issues that I'd like to avoid.

Just curious, nothing more.  It would be helpful but it's not
worth a flamefest over cron versus a built-in.

Thanks in advance.
