## PostgreSQL DBMS_JOB compatibility extension
pg_dbms_job is a PostgreSQL extension to create, manage and use Oracle-style
DBMS_JOB scheduled job. The use and behavior is just like with the DBMS_JOB
Oracle package.
It allows to manage scheduled jobs from a job queue or to execute immediately
jobs asynchronously. A job definition consist on a code to execute, the next
date of execution and how often the job is to be run. A job runs a SQL command,
plpgsql code or an existing stored procedure.
pg_dbms_job v1.5.0 has been released, this is a maintenance release to fix
a major issue reported by users since the past two months.
* Fix get_scheduled_jobs() to avoid executing already running jobs if it
takes longer to complete than the frequency at which it is programmed.
