Re: how to notify when dbms_job completes?

oh i think I figured it out.

I register a listener with dbms_alert for every dbms_job I run. I then have my jobs alert the listener when complete.

my main thread will have a counter for every job inside a loop.

for i=0;i<wait_count;i++
  sleep.
  wake when alerted.

finish loop when all alerts come in
do analyze

yes I know that isnt pl/sql syntax. I Think that will work.
