I'm presuming that you are on some kind of unix-like system. If so, check
the "cron" system (man cron, man crontab) - use this to run a script at a
set time each month - the script can then update your database.
This can be as simple as placing a script into /etc/cron.monthly/ on some
systems (e.g. Linux Redhat) but in any case is not too complicated.
PS - it is usually easier to do this early on the first day of each month
(every month has a day 1, not all have a day 31).
