hello

I'm new in this list, so sorry if my question seems stupid

Is it possible to invoke store procedure because of time, I mean for example I want my procedure to be invoked every
tenminutes - what should I do to reach this goal 

Greetings

You can use the crontab for such thing.

0-59/10 * * * * echo "select * from foo;" | psql test | mail foo@example.com

Usually one takes the system cron service to start a script
which in turn acts on the database in the way you want.
Since you are using windows, you perhaps have no built in
way (although I remember there was an ability with IE
offline pages you can use to timely trigger things iirc)
but there are many "cron" - like tools for download
you could use.

Postgres has currently no built in for that because
the vast number of instances run on some unices where
cron is common.
