Hi,
how do you store recurring events in a database?
Selecting all events in a week/month should be fast (comming from an index).
My solution looks like this:
Table event:
Columns: id, name, recurring, start_datetime, end_datetime
recurring is weekly, monthly, yearly or NULL.
end_datetime can be NULL (open end).
Can you create an indexed view with infinite rows? I only want to index
the last three year and the next three years.
An other solution would be to fill a table with "serialized" events. The
recurring
events would be created and inserted into a table. This can only be done in a
time frame
like above (last three year, next three years). If a recurring event gets
altered,
all its serialized events need to be updated.
Any feedback?
I have had success using the instructions at
