Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Dbms_scheduler lightweight jobs.

Oct 6, 2016 5:25PM edited Apr 22, 2020 11:38AM in PL/SQL (MOSC) 13 commentsAnswered

Does anyone have any experience with using DBMS_Scheduler Lightweight Jobs?

We have a process that creates many dbms_scheduler jobs that run in the background and use dbms_alerts to communicate when they are complete.

We need these jobs to startup quickly and shutdown quickly when they are complete.

Does the Job_type of 'LightWeight' really improve the performance?

Thanks
Debbie
