Is there a MySQL equivalent to the MS SQL Server jobs and job scheduling? Or is that kind of thing considered an application-layer thing in the MySQL world?

    I would actually consider it an operating system thing (e.g. `cron`) –  Apr 04 '12 at 22:04

Are you looking for the Event Scheduler?

When you create an event, you are creating a named database object containing one or more SQL statements to be executed at one or more regular intervals, beginning and ending at a specific date and time.
