I want to delete records from a db table based on a time-stamp for each record. I would like to have it automatically delete records compared to a date/time interval without user intervention or admin intervention.
What would be the best way to go about this, I could create a process that runs in the background that does checks but that is extra work I want to avoid? Is there any libraries/web services I could use as templates?
