SELECT * FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='<database>'; As long as your MySQL version is >= 5.1, you don't need a cron script, you can use the MySQL scheduler, create a stored procedure that will run each month. You'll need to use prepared statements, something like this: http://gpshumano.blogs.dri.pt/2009/09/06/automatically-cleaning-up-spam-wordpress-comments/ -NT Em 18-11-2011 08:02, a bv escreveu: > Hi, > I have a linux box running mysql plus phpmyadmin which has tables > getting montly data and when a new month starts a new table is > created.
