Another option would be to do this in one query and use the dbcron
module to handle the "write a module which..." part.

http://drupal.org/project/dbcron

Writing that as one query maybe isn't the easiest thing, but I believe
it's possible.  I don't have the time to figure out the exact syntax
for you, but wanted to provide this other option.
