is an tolerable proceed rudimentary "scheduler" c#?

i'm origination rudimentary scheduler c# .net. does govern rudimentary name matter list sql server db once per footnote (this does need scale anything... db does have high load). here due implementation:

static vacant main(string[] args)
{
    while (true)
    {
        system.threading.thread.sleep(timeout); // timeout is, say, 60000
        checktable();
    }
}

is ok? improved way?

p.s. someone suggested controlling windows forms timer class... however seems overkill.

cheers!
