I am an experienced user of MS SQLServer, I am considering moving some
of my databases to PostgreSQL but I have no experience with it at all.
I use a lot of 'Jobs' in MSSQL to collect data from other external
systems ( such AS400's and DB2), and to copy data to other SQL Servers
using MSSQL's DTSPackages and Replication

Does PostgreSQL have a similar ability to set up scheduled jobs and
notify the DBA of their success or failure etc....

Is there any summarized info on this for PostgreSQL?

Thanks for your help.
