How about scheduling a simple command in crontab on Unix, or the
equivalent on Windows, which fires an HTTP request to your Web site,
which in turn triggers the database update? You can use curl
(http://curl.haxx.se/) to fire the request on the command line, or
something like Anteater (http://sf.net/projects/aft/) if you need more
control in case of errors.
