run_job()

Run a previously registered job in the current session. This works for user-defined actions as well as policies. Since run_job is implemented as stored procedure it cannot be executed inside a SELECT query but has to be executed with CALL.

tip

Any background worker job can be run in the foreground when executed with run_job. You can use this with an increased log level to help debug problems.

Required arguments
