## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
