PG_JOB

PG_JOB records detailed information about jobs created by users. Dedicated threads poll the system catalog PG_JOB and trigger jobs based on scheduled job execution time, and update job status in PG_JOB. This system catalog belongs to the Shared Relation category. All job records are visible to all databases.

Table 1 PG_JOB columns

Name

Type

Description

oid

oid

Row identifier (hidden attribute, which must be specified)

job_id

bigint

Job ID, primary key, unique (with a unique index)

current_postgres_pid

bigint

postgres thread ID of the job if the job has been executed. The default value is -1, indicating that the job has not yet been executed.

log_user

priv_user

job_status

"char"

Status of the job. The value can be r, s, f, or d. The default value is s. The indications are as follows:

Status of job step: r=running, s=successfully finished, f=job failed, d=disable

If a job fails to be executed for 16 consecutive times, job_status is automatically set to d, and no more attempt will be made on this job.

Note: When you disable a scheduled task (by setting job_queue_processes to 0), the thread that monitors the job execution is not started, and the job status will not be updated. You can ignore this status. Only when the scheduled task function is enabled (job_queue_processes is not 0), the system updates the value of this column based on the real-time job status.
