    Migrate scheduled jobs to pg_timetable from pgAgent

    Why migrate to pg_timetable from pgAgent? There are many reasons, actually, why people might want to export pgAgent jobs to pg_timetable. Most of them may be spotted by taking a look at the PostgreSQL schedulers comparison table I introduced in one of my previous posts and the supported platform table from the official readme. In […]

    Migrate scheduled jobs to pg_timetable from pg_cron

    Why migrate to pg_timetable from pg_cron? There are a lot of reasons you may want to migrate from pg_cron: maybe you need to run a scheduler on a platform pg_cron doesn’t support; or you want to run several parallel schedulers simultaneously; it’s possible you hit the bugs in pg_cron that haven’t been fixed for ages […]

    Run multiple jobs but limit number of sessions – PostgreSQL: pg_timetable

    If you are using pg_timetable to run multiple jobs on PostgreSQL, you need to understand how to calculate the number of database sessions, so you don’t overload your system. Recently, a related question came up on pg_timetable’s Github Disscussion page: What do you do when you get the following error message: “Failed to send chain to […]

    Intro I wrote about the new pg_timetable 3 major release not so long ago. Three essential features were highlighted: new session locking implementation; new jackc/pgx Golang library used; exclusive chain execution. Meanwhile, two minor releases have come out, and the current version is v3.2. It focuses on the completely new and fantastic feature asynchronous control […]

    pg_timetable v3 is out!

    As you probably know, pg_timetable is the advanced PostgreSQL cron compatible scheduler already released! Usually, any major release introduces absolutely new functionality as well as some backward incompatibilities. However, the only backward incompatibility present in this release is that the base task SHELL changed its name to PROGRAM. Yes, that’s all. 🙂 Now, let’s check […]

    pg_timetable: Advanced PostgreSQL scheduling

    UPDATED 14.02.2023: pg_timetable is a brand-new job scheduler for PostgreSQL implemented completely from scratch (in Go). Traditional job scheduling is quite limited and does not cover all we needed in real life. Therefore, we thought about job execution in more detail and came up with a new concept that has not been seen in the […]
