You probably have a list of databases in which to propagate the information.
And you have the same set of information to go out to each db.

Schedule a script that will parse the information for each db you wish to
update, have it run daily. All you need to do then is update the list of
db's when necessary.

Assuming you want to schedule the script on the RaQ, one easy to do this is
in Perl and stick it in a cronjob.

You can't execute ASP pages outside of the context of the web server (well
you could using wget but it's not exactly ideal)
