What part do you need help with? The database access or the timing?

Sounds easy, know how to use a loop, a timer, a thread?

If you're having trouble figuring out how to connect to the database and run your SQL command, you might want to start with a tutorial. You can find some on google[^].

As stated in the comments, you probably will want to use a timer control in order to run your SQL every hour. For that you should research the timer class on MSDN.[^]
