Well under SQL Server you can set up a job that will do whatever you want it to do, including sending emails, at any time you specify and as frequently as you like.

I would also look at creating either a windows service or a scheduled task. You can write a simple .vbs file for the scheduled task or you can create an .exe that will handle calling the db (if you need this) and emailing. You can then set this .exe to run as a windows service.
