I want to ask about scheduling, is there any MySQL command for scheduling. For example, I want to insert a data into the DB. Can I write a sql statement to hold it for some time, or maybe I insert this data in some scheduled time, for example, tomorrow 8:00 a.m.
I know these can be done by programming, but I want to do it in SQL command, is it possible to do so? If not, any suggestions?
Scheduling background jobs is not part of the SQL command set. So it is down to each database vendor to provide their own extension. In Oracle it is a PL/SQL package,
DBMS_SCHEDULER(orDBMS_JOBin older versions). In MYSQL it would appear to be the Event Scheduler, which use SQL syntax.Edit
As Paul Dixon has pointed out the Event Scheduler is a relatively recent extension to MySQL (I’m not a MySQL expert, so forgive if this is not helpful to you).
