way to delete records after a period of time if they meet criteria?

Hey all,

I know I could do this with a cron and a script, but I'm looking into if it can be done easily right from Oracle. I'm using Oracle 8i on a Unix Solaris box.

Simplified:
I have a table with records for name, item purchased, date entered, and date paid. I want to delete the record if the item hasn't been paid for in 5 days after entry.

So...
delete from tablename where datePaid is null and dateEntered < sysdate-5

Can I do that without a cron that runs once daily?

TIA
