MySQL supports events where i can set up something to happen in a specified time period
Eg: Update the salary’s every month
Eg: Update something every year
Eg: Change the status of a book to “overdue” in a week
Etc etc etc
How do I do this in Oracle?
You can use
DBMS_SCHEDULERto do perform scheduled events.Official Documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/scheduse.htm
