Schedule

The Oracle database contains a feature that enables you to schedule PL/SQL jobs (procedures) for execution at given times and at given intervals. While this feature is very powerful, it is also fairly complex to use. Therefore, iKnowBase Development Studio contains a web user interface to configure such jobs.
