Hi <unknown>,
Have a look at database information_schema.TABLES:
SELECT * FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA='<database>';
As long as your MySQL version is >= 5.1, you don't need a cron script,
you can use the MySQL scheduler, create a stored procedure that will run
each month. You'll need to use prepared statements, something like this:
