Traditionally, PostgreSQL has consciously omitted such things where
they would merely be replicating existing operating system
functionality.

On Unix, "cron" is the traditional service that provides this
functionality.

I think there's a port to Windows NT, so you could presumably use that
if you haven't got any more "native" job scheduler.
