   Oracle provides a LOT of related capabilities.  As others have   
   mentioned, you want to start with DBMS_JOB.  For more advanced   
   capabilities, you want to wander around their Advanced Queueing,   
   Workflow and Business events.   
      
      
   This is ALL documented in the online documentation about included   
   packages.  Go to http://docs.oracle.com, dig into the docs for your   
   version, use the 'list all books' capability and just spend 3-5 minutes   
   looking at the titles.  It's well worth you time (and ours) to get   
   familiar with what's available.
