Future Event

Is there a way in php to execute a SELECT statement in the future? What
I am wanting to do is use a page to parse a database at a future time.
I want to send out some email about an event I am putting on, but I
don't want to execute the select statement until 2:00am. I could use
cron for this, but I would perfer not, as I am writing an application in
which cron may not be an option. Is there 3rd party engines that will
do this?
