Email trigger on Birthdays

Hi, there are a couple posts on here about how to create a scheduled datbase task and associated event action to run on a schedule. If you did this, you could simply check each day it ran against the DOB field in the Employee/Person record and each time it runs it just loops through a cursor and runs the plsql mail command. However, this is a Apps9/10 solution, there may be a better way to do this in Cloud, that I’d be interested in seeing.
