To do this in t-sql  you can use the following system stored procedures to schedule a daily job  This example schedules daily at 1 00 AM  See Microsoft help for details on syntax of the individual stored procedures and valid range of parameters   DECLARE  job name NVARCHAR 128    description NVARCHAR 512    owner login name NVARCHAR 128    database name NVARCHAR 128    SET  job name   N Some Title   SET  description   N Periodically do something   SET  owner login name   N login   SET  database name   N Database Name    -- Delete job if it already exists  IF EXISTS SELECT job id FROM msdb dbo sysjobs WHERE  name    job name   BEGIN     EXEC msdb dbo sp delete job          job name    job name  END  -- Create the job  EXEC  msdb dbo sp add job      job name  job name        enabled 1        notify level eventlog 0        notify level email 2        notify level netsend 2        notify level page 2        delete level 0        description  description        category name N  Uncategorized  Local           owner login name  owner login name   -- Add server  EXEC msdb dbo sp add jobserver  job name  job name   -- Add step to execute SQL  EXEC msdb dbo sp add jobstep      job name  job name       step name N Execute SQL         step id 1        cmdexec success code 0        on success action 1        on fail action 2        retry attempts 0        retry interval 0        os run priority 0        subsystem N TSQL         command N EXEC my stored procedure  -- OR ANY SQL STATEMENT         database name  database name        flags 0   -- Update job to set start step  EXEC msdb dbo sp update job      job name  job name        enabled 1        start step id 1        notify level eventlog 0        notify level email 2        notify level netsend 2        notify level page 2        delete level 0        description  description        category name N  Uncategorized  Local           owner login name  owner login name        notify email operator name N          notify netsend operator name N          notify page operator name N     -- Schedule job  EXEC msdb dbo sp add jobschedule      job name  job name       name N Daily        enabled 1       freq type 4       freq interval 1        freq subday type 1        freq subday interval 0        freq relative interval 0        freq recurrence factor 1        active start date 20170101  --YYYYMMDD      active end date 99991231  --YYYYMMDD  this represents no end date       active start time 010000  --HHMMSS      active end time 235959  --HHMMSS

Expand the SQL Server Agent node and right click the Jobs node in SQL Server Agent and select  New Job  In the  New Job  window enter the name of the job and a description on the  General  tab  Select  Steps  on the left hand side of the window and click  New  at the bottom  In the  Steps  window enter a step name and select the database you want the query to run against  Paste in the T-SQL command you want to run into the Command window and click  OK   Click on the  Schedule  menu on the left of the New Job window and enter the schedule information  e g  daily and a time   Click  OK  - and that should be it     There are of course other options you can add - but I would say that is the bare minimum you need to get a job set up and scheduled
