I've been assigned the task of updating a table nightly but I have no clue how to do this.

Basically, I need to pull data from a gargantuan database and place a few fields of data into a smaller table once a night so it's more manageable for reporting purposes.

I'm assuming I have to schedule something but what? And where do I schedule it?

Thanks.

You can copy data with data import/export wizard and schedule to run it.
