Retrieve data from database once each day. Day of month in 'dbtimestamp.inc'
is compared with current day and if they are different, data are selected
and 'dbtimestamp.inc' is updated with current date. Note that if 'dbtimestamp.inc'
does not exist, it is created with day of month equaling to '0' to ensure data
selection.
