Dr. Tim Hall has a good page on using the job scheduler (not schedular as I 
mistyped earlier!!) 

See: http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/Scheduler10g.php

Thank you Martin and Adar.

Both these options are promising. 
I'm more inclined towards database job chains as it will help me explore other 
features of database. Ofcourse batch job is always easy. Let me try these 
options and get back to you. 

Thanks a lot for your inputs.
