Sure you could set up a scheduled task in CF (say once a day at midnight) that runs a page that then runs a query deleting all records whose itemexpires date is less than NOW().

Hi I have a field in my database table called 'itemexpires' which contains a date field i.e. 17 November 2001. What I would like to do is when the date is reached in the date field ie if a record had a value in the 'itemexpires' field of 21 November 2001 this entire record would be automatically deleted from the database a day later (22nd November) 1.) Can this be done with Coldfusion? 2.) How can it be achieved? TIA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
