# Directly updating rows in the `cron.job` table is no longer allowed

Previously, it was possible to directly insert/update rows on the pg_cron extension's `cron.job` table. This bypasses security checks that would've been asserted when jobs are scheduled/modified via pg_cron functions.

You can see how to schedule/modify cron jobs using the examples in our [docs](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/extensions/pg_cron).
