    Question

    I need to know if there is a way to program automatic processes. That is, processes that launch tehmselves instead of having someone run them periodically.

    Thanks

    UNIX operating System

    If you are using the UNIX operating system you can write a shell script to run your oracle jobs. Then run that script using the at command.

    If I run them with the at command they would be running in the background, right?

    Or, if you want the job run at specified time periods, use cron.

    Both cron and at run in the background.

    If you want to run PL/SQL code periodically or at a specific time or, use DBMS_JOB.
    Check for more information:

    You need an account, but it's free.
