I think you're making too many assumptions about the user.
If it's an "in house" type of "admin tool", it could be
some kind of reporting tool so that a manager doesn't
have to know how to make MySQL queries. For example,
maybe they only need the information on demand about
every other month, so it would be wasteful to have a
cron job doing an hour of processing every day. You might
think just run a command, but some people don't have any
idea what that really means, and developers get
tired of being command-line (and MySQL :) monkeys.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
