[snip] is there a possibillity in mysql to send periodically queries to a database, for example all 5 minutes? Or, a liitle bit off topic, is there a possibility to this via php? Or, is it normally possible to set up such a query via cron tab (unix based web servers only)? Thanx. [/snip]
Yes, you can do this via CRON, for example 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * mysql databasename < mySQLScript.sql or you can create a PHP file and run it from CRON 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /path/to/my/php/script.php -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
