Database Jobs tips

🗄️

PostgreSQL pg_cron, SQL Server Agent, MySQL Event Scheduler — all use cron syntax. The same expression works across them.

💡

For backups: `0 2 * * *` (2am daily) is the conventional choice. Adjust based on your load patterns.

🎯

For weekly VACUUM ANALYZE: `0 3 * * 0` (Sunday 3am). Schedules during typical low-traffic times.
