Hello everyone!

I am using Apache Derby database with Tomcat and am trying to implement the following ideas:
- everyday at 9 pm for e.g. the database must create a new record/row in a table
- everyday at 9 pm for e.g. the database must modify an existing record/row's information

My web application will be up always once started.

Right now I'm trying to implement the ideas using some Java+JDBC class with timer task etc. I've a question: will such program runs in background?
Could you please guide me and tell if I'm going in right direction? Further, I would appreciate if you could give me any other tips that could help in implementing my ideas.
Many thanks in advance!

Yes it will run in the background and yes it is a good approach. In fact we use it here at the Ranch.
