Dear Sean, Lewis and Regina,
Many thanks for your suggestions. It looks there are several options
doing automatic tasks on PostgreSQL.
I found that Windows has a task scheduler. I tried to use it but still
have problem in connecting with the server (and database). I may need
to learn setting the correct parameters.
I will try to use the PgAgent or nncronlite as they seem to be better
options. I hope you would help me again if I have further questions.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Yos
