Running update syntax at set time

Hi

Is it possible for me to run an update syntax at a certain time say midnight for example?

I'm trying to update a bit field in my table (which acts as a checkbox in my Access front end), but only if three date fields are before todays date. The dates in question are in two other tables.

If so how would I go about doing this?

ThanksHave you looked at Books OnLine and read about the SQL Server Agent and scheduled jobs?|||What's Books OnLine, and where can I find it?|||What's Books OnLine, and where can I find it?Books Online = BOL = SQL Server Help - easily accessed via Query Analyser and Enterprise Manager.

BTW - are you sure you want to derive this overnight rather than at runtime or (possibly) at point of data capture?

Running SQL2005 profiler from an SQLAgent job

Hi,
I would like to run a certain profiler template against a server on a
regular basis. I can run profiler90 from the Command Prompt and it starts
creating the trace file. Can I run profiler90 from within an SQLAgent job? I
have tried and it did not run.
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris,
You have to use the trace procedures. An easy way to get started, is to
script the trace from file > export menu.
