pgAgent is being retired in 6 months, including its pgAdmin UI. pg_timetable is presented as a replacement, sharing most of pgAgent's key features: cross-platform support, PostgreSQL as the backend, multiple agents, and ordered job steps — though it lacks a polished pgAdmin UI. pg_cron is also mentioned as a simpler alternative for SQL-only scheduling. The author contributed a patch to make pg_cron compile on Windows via mingw64, with a follow-up VC++ patch still pending. A future article will compare pg_timetable and pg_cron and may provide Windows binaries for pg_cron.
