Re: Calendar Scripts - Quite a complex one

Hi,

The complexity comes while scheduling the appointments. Let us say, I have
scheduled so many meetings in my calendar of various schedules like daily, 3
days once, weekly, bi weekly. monthly, bi monthly, etc.

While I open the calendar for end of this year (say Dec 2004), I need to
show those meetings in my calendar, but I have data until Jan 2004.

What is the best way to show it. Populating the records from Jan 2004 to Dec
2004 in the pgsql function and display it in the calendar, or just write a
query to generate temporary records only for that Dec 2004 and not storing
them at the database.

Please shed some idea.

Regards
Kumar

But all of the appointments, holidays, etc can and should be stored in the
database, and by using function programming one can automate generating all
of the raw data for the calendar graphics. We do this with our legal
calendaring app.
