Run a scheduled job across databases

The DBMS_JOB package applies only to the postgres database. If you want to configure scheduled jobs for other databases, configure cross-database scheduled jobs in the postgres database.

An example is used to describe how to configure a cross-database scheduled job. In this example, the DBMS_JOB package is configured in the postgres database. A scheduled job is configured to run in a database named test. In this example, you want to insert one data record per minute into a table in the test database. For more information about how to create a database, see Create a database.

1. Create a table named jobrun and a stored procedure named job_proc in the test database.

   • Execute the following statement to create a table named jobrun:

     CREATE TABLE public.jobrun (
         id              serial               NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
         runtime         VARCHAR2(40)
     );

   • Execute the following statement to create a stored procedure named job_proc:

     CREATE PROCEDURE public.job_proc
     IS
     BEGIN
         INSERT INTO jobrun(runtime) VALUES ('job_proc run at ' || TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'));
     END;

2. Create a scheduled job in the postgres database.

   You must add the database in which you want to run the scheduled job to the DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT() function. In this example, the database in which the scheduled job runs is named test. For more information about other parameters, see Create a scheduled job.

   The following sample statement provides an example:

   DECLARE
      jobid           INTEGER;
   BEGIN
     DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT(jobid,'job_proc;', SYSDATE, 'SYSDATE + 1/(24 * 60)', false, 'test');
   END;

3. Query the state and execution records of the scheduled job in the postgres database.

   • Query the scheduled job:

     SELECT * FROM sys.user_jobs;

     The following output is returned:

      job | jobloguser | job_user | database |           job_created            |           job_changed            |            last_date             | last_sec |         next_date         | next_sec |   total_time    | broken |                 interval                 | failures |                                                      what                                                       | instance
     -----+------------+----------+----------+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+----------+---------------------------+----------+-----------------+--------+------------------------------------------+----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------
        1 | DBUSER     | dbuser   | postgres | 29-OCT-20 02:38:49.478494 +00:00 | 29-OCT-20 02:38:49.478494 +00:00 | 29-OCT-20 02:51:12.025001 +00:00 | 02:51:12 | 29-OCT-20 02:53:12 +00:00 | 02:53:12 | 00:00:00.243224 | N      | BEGIN return SYSDATE + 1/(24 * 30); END; |        0 |  BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT dbmsjob.dbms_job_internal_job_link(''BEGIN job_proc; END;'', ''test'');' ; END |        0

   • Query the execution records:

     SELECT * FROM all_scheduler_job_run_details;

     The following output is returned:

      jlgid | jlgjobid | jlgstatus |             jlgstart             |   jlgduration   
     -------+----------+-----------+----------------------------------+-----------------

          2 |        1 | s         | 29-OCT-20 02:39:50.061113 +00:00 | 00:00:00.016463
          3 |        1 | s         | 29-OCT-20 02:40:50.062331 +00:00 | 00:00:00.016244

4. Query the data in the jobrun table in the test database.

   Execute the following statement:

   SELECT * FROM jobrun;

   The following output is returned:

    id |               runtime               
   ----+-------------------------------------
     1 | job_proc run at 2020-10-29 02:38:50
     2 | job_proc run at 2020-10-29 02:39:50
     3 | job_proc run at 2020-10-29 02:40:50

BEGIN
    DBMS_JOB.CHANGE(1,NULL,SYSDATE,'SYSDATE + 1/(24 * 30)','test');
END;
