Hello all!

I have a minor problem to solve. I have a MySQL DB hosted out on a remote server. This DB accumulates a lot of junk records in the course of its processing, and I would like to prune them.

So, I would like to find a way to create some sort of batch file/cron job/whatever scheduled script that instructs MySQL to find records of certain criteria & deletes them, let's say daily, in a completely unattended fashion.

I have a WinXP Pro and a MacOSX 10.1.5 box available to accomplish the task (will use whichever is easier & more appropriate for the job), and need to do it as cheaply as possible - some expense is OK, but not too much. Does anyone have any suggestions, or could at least point me to a resource somewhere that is on-point?

Thanks!

John Krische
