You can implement this yourself. Just have a variable in the  
CustomConfig.pm that is declared outside of any function. Put in  
there the (alarm) time when you want the next SQL reload to happen.  
In the Custom Function, check the time to see if you are after the  
alarm time. If you are, then reload the SQL data and update the alarm  
time to point another hour in the future.

It's about 5 lines of code :-)
