Oracle provides a LOT of related capabilities. As others have mentioned, you want to start with DBMS_JOB. For more advanced capabilities, you want to wander around their Advanced Queueing, Workflow and Business events.

This is ALL documented in the online documentation about included packages. Go to http://docs.oracle.com, dig into the docs for your version, use the 'list all books' capability and just spend 3-5 minutes looking at the titles. It's well worth you time (and ours) to get familiar with what's available.
