Add a timestamp field to the records. Record the time each record is created.

 

create a delete routine that checks if timestamp + offset < current timestamp

 

if true, delete

 

you can embed this as a function in any script that gets heavy use on the server, and it should be fairly regular about deletions. If you need precision, you'll need to save the delete routine to its own script and run it via CRON every n number of minutes, hours, or daily.
