Assuming you're running the apacheserver on Linux you can use Crontabs. Just create a PHP-script that does the interaction you want with the database, then add that as a crontab to make it run on a regular basis.

The reason I assume you're running Linux is because you already seems to have an idea on how to do it in windows.
