Deleting Rows Automatically By Date

> Could I set up a delete script on the server to be run once a day?

This is more a job for the database server, coldfusion can do it via
schedule, but coldfusion is your biness logic tier, not your data tier. If
this is a choice you have, of course.

Depending on the db you are using, and the os of your db server, you might be able to do this without cold fusion.

A good place to start would be by researching Scheduled Tasks and cfschedule
