That still doesn't make Postgresql understand YAML markup files.

If you want a YAML file to control what actions happen when, then you must look outside Postgresql for a generic Linux or container tool..

This makes no sense…

YAML is markup, it doesn’t run anything.  Something has to interpret the YAML.

I also can’t imagine how creating a fixed table periodically is useful; seems like it should fail every time but the first.  What problem is this supposed to solve?

Anyway, cron itself runs periodically - you don’t run it.  Just have it execute a psql command or bash script that includes using psql.
