Abstract
An apparatus and method of performing a time-based operation on a row in a database table includes receiving a function to be applied to a particular row in a table within the database management system. The method may also include, in response to receiving the function, adding a new column to the table. A new cell in the new column includes a timer indicating a time that the processing device will call the function, and the new cell references the function. The method may also include, upon expiration of the timer, determining that the database management system is available for execution of the function, and executing the function on the particular row in the table.
