If there's an executeable that can perform the job then you can have ASP
execute it via wscript or just have a scheduled event run server side
(first it checks for a file at a certain location and then calls a
procedure to convert the db to another format - followed by deleting the
file/flag indicating the event needs to be run). The benefit of the
second method is that you can have the scheduled event run as any user.
You can via wscript, too, but it's more work. The scheduled method also
avoids ever invoking an event using IUSR that might be used in a
privilege escalation attack.
