pg_timetable is an advanced standalone job scheduler for PostgreSQL that is completely database driven. It schedules SQL commands, system programs, and built-in operations using cron-style expressions, with support for task chains and missed-job handling.

Use cases

• schedule SQL jobs in postgres
• replace cron for database tasks
• run vacuum automatically on a schedule
• refresh materialized views periodically
• chain dependent database tasks
• run reindexdb nightly
• schedule shell commands from postgres

When to choose

• you need cron-like scheduling fully managed inside PostgreSQL
• you want tasks arranged in chains with parameters and failure handling
• you need to schedule SQL, programs, and built-ins from one scheduler

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose distributed task queue outside the database
• you use a database other than PostgreSQL
• you need a GUI-based scheduler
