How to create a Simple Scheduler Job in Oracle Database
using Toad
Scheduler is a process which runs programmed jobs at scheduled times. This process wakes
up at the specified time and runs automatically.
The basic elements of the scheduler are:
Jobs
Schedules
Programs
A job specifies what needs to be executed and when. A program is a collection of metadata
that will be executed by the scheduler. It contains the name of the program (a procedure or
an executable, the type of the program (pl/sql block, shell script etc). A schedule specifies
when and how many times a job is executed.
