schedule the creation of a html page from the server every 30 minutes

Can anyone tell me if this is possible and if so point me in the right direction on how to implement it!

Basically I have a panel on my website that's hitting the database and outputting the data to the screen, everytime somebody hits the page. This is a heavy burden on the server and what I would like to do is create a HTML file with the information every 30 minutes and then request this HTML file with an include on the website.

<!--#include file="myHTMLpanel.asp"-->

By the way, i'm using classic .ASP ;o(

You might want to investigate a pre-built caching solution on the server rather than writing it manually.

A product such as Varnish will make it virtually effortless.

ASP provides a great mechanism for generating web pages, no point in creating your own. Use caching, like this. Create a scheduled task that hits the server every 30 minutes and breaks the cache.

Use VBScript to write a script that will run your query and write out the HTML page. Schedule it to run every 30 mins via scheduled task.
