Use trigger to fore off email if no data entered

I have a MySQL-driven app in development that users have to enter data by a deadline which is different for each job. The deadline time is stored in the database along with the user's email address. What I'd like to do is to have a way of polling the database every 5 minutes or so and if no data has been entered by - say - 30 minutes before the deadline, an email is sent to the relevent user as a reminder. It's running on Windows 2000 Server and so I could probably use vbs but I'm not that good at it, or can I use a trigger? I'll use Blat for email as it's small and fast.
