Scheduling jobs and tasks in Oracle can be achieved by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER package. Below are some commonly used steps:

Create assignments.

BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
      job_name           => 'job_name',
      job_type           => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
      job_action         => 'BEGIN your_procedure; END;',
      start_date         => SYSTIMESTAMP,
      repeat_interval    => 'FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=0; BYMINUTE=0; BYSECOND=0',
      enabled            => TRUE
   );
END;
/

Start the task:

BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB('job_name');
END;
/

Stop working.

BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.STOP_JOB('job_name');
END;
/

4. Delete assignment:

BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.DROP_JOB('job_name');
END;
/

With these steps, you can schedule and manage jobs and tasks in Oracle. You can set the execution time, repeat intervals, enable status, etc. of the job according to specific needs, achieving flexible scheduling functionality.
