Hi,
In 10g you can use the Scheduler to run a PL/SQL block every day.
You can find documentation on DBMS_SCHEDULER here
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_sched.htm
and on creating a job here
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/scheduse.htm#i1006395
Here is sample dbms_scheduler code to run a plsql_block at 8pm every day
grant create job to user_schema ;
then as that user
BEGIN
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'my_nightly_job',
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => 'schema.my_stored_proc();'
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=20;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0',
comments => 'this job runs every day at 8pm',
enabled=>true);
END;
Hope this helps,
Ravi.
