Currently, I am transferring database from Oracle to Postgres, but I am having trouble converting
DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE (JOB_NAME => THE_JOB_NAME,
ARGUMENT_NAME => 'in_study_count', ARGUMENT_VALUE => IN_STUDY_COUNT)
to Postgres, but I can't map DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE with a Postgres equivalent solution. I recently worked with Postgres, so I don't have much experience with this. Hope everybody help please.
As #a_horse_with_no_name mentioned in his comment, there is no built-in scheduler in Postgres.
There is a commercial product named EDB Postgres Advanced Server which extends PorsgreSQL and provides extra functionalities for users migrating from Oracle, including a DBMS_SCHEDULER package which does have a SET_JOB_ARGUMENT_VALUE(job_name, argument_position, argument_value) procedure, just like the Oracle package.
However, if you want to remain with the standard Open Source PostgreSQL database, installing pg_cron is probably your best option (as also mentioned by #a_horse_with_no_name).

Someone can clarify the difference among different type of encrypting a database?
I saw that a lot of people use pgcrypto, but they say that TDE is always the best choice.
Is pgcrypto enough to respect GPDR?
I have already installed pgcrypto and test it. It works fine.
The only guide I found for the TDE on Postgres says that it is possible to use by adding on postgresql.conf these line:
keystore_location
tablespace_encryption_algorithm
And executing these lines code:
select pgx_set_master_key 'passphrase'
pg_ctl --keystore-passphrase restart 'keystore location'
At the end you can create a new tablespace.
On the official docs of Postgres the TDE is never explained.
Thanks
can any one help me with this?
How pg-admin is used with postgresql?
How do they work together?
I want to know the working and the realtion between the two.
pgAdmin is a GUI client specifically written for PostgreSQL. It is written in Python and uses the PostgreSQL C library libpq via psycopg2 to communicate with the PostgreSQL database server.
You need the PostgreSQL server running before you can connect to it with pgAdmin.
pgAdmin is an independent project, and it is written by different people than PostgreSQL (although there are naturally overlaps).
I am working on SSIS and get trouble with POSTGres.
Because I need to build a command text from variables, so that I have to use the Ole DB Datasource to retrieve data from a Postgres server.
I have search alot pages in internet but not found any good provider (it is not reasonable with fee granted tool such as Devard :(, Postgres is free, it's drivers and provider should be free also).
Does someone can give me a hand on this?
Thanks
Can someone tell me the difference between pgAdmin and postgreSQL? Are both of them one in the same? I can't draw a ER diagram in pgAdmin but was wondering if it's possible in postgreSQL?
Once I downloaded the postgreSQL it automatically downloaded the pgAdmin and the postgreSQL database is not in sight.
The PostgreSQL is a database engine implementing SQL standards. It usually listen as a server on a network tcp port to provide its abilities.
The pgAdmin is a sort of client. You are able to manipulate schema and data on an instance or multiple instances of PostgreSQL engines.
The MS Windows instalation package consists of both PostgreSQL server and PgAdmin client. So far right after the instalation you are able to manage your databases.
PostgreSQL (pronounced as post-gress-Q-L) is an open source relational
database management system ( DBMS ) developed by a worldwide team of
volunteers. PostgreSQL is not controlled by any corporation or other
private entity and the source code is available free of charge.
The pgAdmin package is a free and open source graphical user interface
administration tool for PostgreSQL, which is supported on many
computer platforms.
phpPgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL written in PHP and based on the popular phpMyAdmin interface
originally written for MySQL administration
Hope you can understand now it well!!
We have the "coverity" tool setup and are trying to find a way to backup the database to a file, it uses I believe PostgreSQL.
How can we do this, is it using its own independent installation of PostgreSQL?
Even better answer..
cov-admin-db backup c:/mybackupfile
When you installed Coverity Integrity Manager, it asked you if you want it to install and manage a PostgreSQL instance or if you want to connect to your own existing PostgreSQL instance that you then have to manage.
If you chose the former, then you would use the provided cov-admin-db command.
If you chose the latter then presumably you already do regular back-ups of your databases with *pg_dump*, you should do the same for the Coverity database.
Without knowing which of the two you chose, it's not clear which of the two answers already given is correct.
You can check which option you chose by looking in the file /config/system.properties - if the first line is "*embedded_db=true*" then use the cov-admin-db command which is documented in the manual as well as in its own --help option.
If it does use PostgreSQL, then there should be a pg_dump utility somewhere in the PostgreSQL installation.
Taking backups using pg_dump is very well explained in the manual:
