I'm working on an application that includes e-mail notifications of

select the data from the table, put it into a mail() command and mail.
Why not just send the notification at the time of the event? (I assume
you update the database at the time of the event).

Because in my experience, several hundred e-mails takes time to send,
hence either the user leaves the page before all the mails are sent or
the page times out before all mails are sent. And if there are thousands
of e-mails, it will only get worse.
