Hi,
I would like to trigger a rule every day in the
specific periodic time, such as: at 12:00 pm, in
Postgresql. But i don't know if it is possible. Help
me please.

I don't believe this is possible from within the server. Your best bet is to
use a client program kicked off by a crontab entry.

I think Oracle does have such a facility though. Does anyone know and is it
something that should be added to Postgres?

man crontab

Cron is your friend here. Just write a cronjob that invokes psql and
the appropriate SQL statement(s).

I do this with some of my daily maintenance stuff.

Use cron.

PostgreSQL currently doesn't support periodic command scheduling
(and a good argument can be made that it shouldn't, since we'd
just be rewriting cron inside PostgreSQL).

Cheers,

Can't you just run a cronjob executing a query?
Something like this in your crontab:
0 12 * * * su - postgres -c "psql < your.job.sql"

This is a problem for your cron daemon. Look outside of postgresql for the
solution to this one.
