scheduling sql

After reading the feature on the devshed home page, I thought I'd try to run an update using current_date() as follows:

UPDATE tablename SET fid="16" WHERE closedate < CURRENT_DATE() AND fid="6"

which worked well and made me wonder:

is there a way to schedule mysql statements via cron? I would think it would have to be incorporated into a php file first to make the DB connection?

Yes that is right. For info about scheduling PHP scripts have a look at the FAQ thread at the top of the forums. This has been asked many times
