Hello,
I would really appreciate some help on this, thanks!
I have a colomn with days_left, an integer. I have to write a Perl
script to run on a cron job once a day and decrement all the fields
in that column by 1. Is there a query to do this?
Sincerely,
Gil.

I'll leave the the cron job and perl script to you, but decrementing
something is done
UPDATE mytable SET myvalue = myvalue-1 WHERE some_condition
