There is no internal method in PostgreSQL for cron-like jobs. (There has been discussion on this in past mails -- see the archives.)

I use an external scheduler (cron since we're a *Nix shop); there are Windows' equivalents but I'm not sure what they are).

HTH,

Apologies for the waste o' bandwidth ...

I should clarify that I use cron to run a shell script; that script sets environment variables and what not, and then runs something, a perl script, pg_dump, passing composed SQL to the psql tool, etc..
