1. A system comprising: a memory storing: a database; and a database repository; and a processor to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to: acquire executable code of a database job, wherein the database job is a task different from client request/response processing, and wherein the executable code of the database job comprises a JavaScript function or a SQL-Script procedure identified by a file extension distinguishable from client-side JavaScript function executable code or client-side SQL-Script procedure executable code, and wherein a JavaScript handler reads a runtime object with JavaScript byte code, and invokes the JavaScript runtime for executing the JavaScript function executable code when the executable code of the database job comprises the JavaScript function executable code; generate a definition of the database job as a repository object in the database repository, the definition of the database job comprising: (1) metadata specifying the executable code of the database job; and (2) a schedule for executing the executable code relative to, and in advance of, a specific time period, wherein the schedule was predetermined during a design time of an application; associate a user with the database job; and activate the database job.
