Re: Jobs in ORACLE

Hi
you can run a scheduled job depending on the operating sistem (cron or at ) so that it checks the database every day and if
finds the release date = system date
then update the released column.
like
if release date <= sysdate and released = 'N' then update released = 'Y' where condition matches.
