pg_cron is a PostgreSQL extension that allows SQL jobs to be scheduled using cron syntax. It runs inside the database server and lets users automate routine tasks like VACUUM, backups, and custom SQL scripts. Jobs are managed via SQL commands and can run on the same schedule format as standard UNIX cron, making it powerful and easy to use for database administrators and developers alike.
