You can't call a job every second via DBMS_JOB.

I believe that at best the resolution is 1 minute.

You could just open another session and run something like this:

declare

   fd varchar2(50) := '01/01/2010 00:00:00';    v_sql varchar2(200);
begin

   loop

      v_sql := 'alter system set fixed_date = "' || fd || '"';
      execute immediate v_sql;
      dbms_lock.sleep(1);
      fd := to_char(to_date(fd,'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') + 1/86400, 
'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss');
      end loop;

end;

        Subject:        Fixed_date and dbms_job


Hi Listers,

 I'm simulating the date in future with fixed_date. I wrote procedure to be called every seconde through dbms_job to increment the fixed_date.

I did that dbms_job.submit(:job_num, 'myprocedure;', sysdate, 'sysdate');

the dba_jobs table show me the right interval un next_date:  

BROKEN ST_DATE LAST_SEC NEXT_DATE NEXT_SEC INTERVAL N 13-JUN-03 00:00:00 13-JUN-03 17:50:06 sysdate

And the sysdate is:
13-JUN-2003 17:50:06 But the job never execute.

Could you please give me hint how to resolve this problem?

Thanks you,

Ben
