Does anyone know of a way to make a field in a table of a mysql database auto-delete after a certain period of time? Is there functionality for this built in to mysql or do I have to write a script and run it as a cron job?

It's definitely a job for a cron script. You're exporting your database for backups every night ... aren't you?!? Just add your auto-delete to that script. :-)

Any chance of those paper cups and string being upgraded to tin cans and wire? Or as a coworker has said . . . I've seen better throughput from a pair of gorillas and flash cards. -Jon Lewis <jle@fdt.net>
