Hi all ,

I am using VB 6 , MYSQL database and Window 2000 Pro.

My application need to do an update/insert in the MYSQL database
periodically.
Let me explain :

Our customer close shop time is 9:00 pm . The user will shutdown
the application ,then the updating and inserting will start to execute
and when is done , is will automatically shutdown the PC .

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions how to do it ?

Thanks.

Use the Windows Task Scheduler.
If you are storing your data gathered during the day in text
files, then this would work.
Starting at 9:00 PM or slightly before, launch your Update/Insert=20
Applet in the background. If the main App is not resident, then
start parsing the data and doing the SQL executes. Call shutdown.exe
when done.

I have no idea how you have stored the daily data. Obviously
you are storing it somehow, or you would be doing dynamic updates
and inserts throughout the day.
