How do I let my DBA pause and resume a stored procedure that is updating every row in a large table?

I would tend to be wary about using jobs like this to control execution. Either the delay between successive jobs would tend to be too short for the DBA to figure out what job to kill/ pause/ etc. or the delay would be long enough that a significant fraction of the run time would be spent in delays between successive jobs.

Another avenue to explore would be the dbms scheduler's support tools for execution windows and resource plans.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
