RE: SNP acronym?

It's the oracle job queue processes... The following is an educated guess... If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me...  

:-)  

I think SNP originally stood for snapshot job... When Oracle introduced snapshots, they needed a mechanism to schedule and run snapshot refreshes... Hence the SNP background processes... Then someone at Oracle decided they could externalize this mechanism and DBMS_JOB was born...  

Can anyone confirm (or crush) the theory? Tim
