Moja aplikacja musi zajmować się informacjami kalendarza (w tym pojedyncze wystąpienie, powtarzanie się itp.). Aby łatwo łączyć się z innymi aplikacjami, pomyślałem, że dobrym pomysłem byłoby utworzenie schematu bazy danych w oparciu o format iCalendar (pola, relacje, ograniczenia) bezpośrednio, tak aby uzyskać obiekty kompatybilne z iCalendar za pośrednictwem ORM, które mogę łatwo ujawnić, gdy potrzebne.iCalendar "Lista pól" (dla schematu bazy danych opartego na standardzie iCalendar)

Wiem, że dokument RFC jest dostępny, ale jest trochę skomplikowany z powodu wszystkich dodatkowych informacji, których nie używam w tej chwili.

Czy ktoś mógłby wskazać mi na łatwiejsze źródło do stworzenia schematu bazy danych opartego na standardzie iCal (co oznacza listę pól/nazw pól i ich związek dla wpisów w programie iCal)?

Dzięki!

Zrobiłem to (tylko dla VEvents, nie wspierając przedmiotów TODO, czy wpisów do Journal lub czegoś w tym stylu). Moja implementacja wygląda następująco (po usunięciu kolumny, które nie są specyficzne dla pytanie):

-- One table for each event. An event may have multiple rRules. 
Create Table [vEvent] 
    (vEventID Integer Identity(1, 1) Not Null 
    Constraint [vEvent.pk] 
    Primary Key 
    Clustered 
    ,title nVarChar(200) Not Null); 

-- One table for rRules. 
-- My application does NOT support the "bySetPos" rule, so that is not included. 
Create Table [rRule] 
    (rRuleID Integer Identity(1, 1) Not Null 
    Constraint [rRule.pk]

    ,[wkSt]    Char ( 2)  Null Default('mo')); 

-- Class must be one of "Confidential", "Private", or "Public" 
Alter Table [rRule]

Check (Not ([dtEnd] Is Not Null And [duration] Is Not Null)); 

-- Check valid values for [freq]. Note that 'single' is NOT in the RFC;

Check (Not ([until] Is Not Null And [count] Is Not Null)); 


-- One table for exceptions to rRules. In my application, this covers both 
-- exDate and rDate. I do NOT support extended rule logic here; The RFC says 
-- you should support the same sort of date calculations here as are supported 
-- in rRules: exceptions can recur, etc. I don't do that; mine is simply a 
-- set of dates that are either "exceptions" (dates which don't appear, even 
-- if the rule otherwise says they should) or "extras" (dates which do appear, 
-- even if the rule otherwise wouldn't include them). This has proved 
-- sufficient for my application, and something that can be exported into a 
-- valid iCalendar file--even if I can't import an iCalendar file that makes 
-- use of recurring rules for exceptions to recurring rules. 
Create Table [exDate] 
    (exDateID Integer Identity(1, 1) Not Null 
    Constraint [exDate.pk]

    ,[type] varChar(6) Not Null); -- Type = "exDate" or "rDate" for me; YMMV. 

Aby przejść wraz z tym, mam kilka SQL Server 2005+ CLR funkcje, które mogą być używane do obliczania daty dla różnych wydarzenia. Znalazłem następujące formularze, które mogą być bardzo przydatne:

Select * From dbo.getDatesByVEventID(@id, @startDate, @endDate) 
Select * From dbo.getEventsByDateRange(@startDate, @endDate, @maxCount) 

Wdrożenie powyższego jest cholernie zabawne, aby dowiedzieć się!

wiem, że to jest ponad 7 lat życia, jest to nadal, jak podejść do tego, I zrobić nowszą wersję SQL daje żadnych opcji lepiej odpytywanie? –

iCal to aplikacja Apple zgodna ze standardem znanym obecnie pod nazwą Icalendar (następcą poprzedniego Vcalendar). Myślę, że wikipedia entry ma wszystkie informacje potrzebne do twoich celów, w prostym i łatwym do naśladowania formacie, ale w razie potrzeby poproś o więcej wskazówek !!!

Dziękuję Chris Nielsen za świetne rozwiązanie powyżej. Miałem jednak z tym pewne problemy, więc go zmodyfikowałem. Proszę zauważyć, że powyższe rozwiązanie jest w python sqlalchemy. Nawrócę to bardzo szybko.

My main difficulties with Chris's solution (and they might not apply to everyone) are 

(1) I didn't need many of the columns in his solution. I only needed columns which would help me with Events and Recurrences. This is the fault of the iCalendar spec, not Chris's. My solution below only considers recurrence rules in terms of their calendar restrictions and their sequence restrictions. 

(2) Certain columns -- most importantly dtStart and dtEnd -- belong to VEVENT, not to RRULE, but Chris placed them in RRULE. This was confusing to me. 
VEVENT: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.6.1 
RRULE: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.3.10 
(3) I also needed to figure out how to contain a schedule which might have a variety of patterns. For example, an event might happen every week on Friday from 6PM-9PM but also all day on May Day. This requires flexibility with dtStart and dtEnd. For this reason, I created a containing Table "SCHEDULE" which maintains a many-to-many relationship with EVENTS, whereas EVENTS have a containment relationship with RRULES. 

Below is my solution in sqlalchemy. I will convert this to SQL ASAP. 

=============================================================== 

from app import db 
from sqlalchemy import CheckConstraint 
from sqlalchemy.ext.associationproxy import association_proxy 


class Schedule(db.Model): 
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) 
    subtypes_relation = db.relationship('Event', secondary=schedule_event_association, 
             backref=db.backref('Schedule', lazy='dynamic')) 

schedule_event_association = db.Table(
    'schedule_event_association', 
    db.Column('schedule_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('schedule.id')), 
    db.Column('event_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('event.id'))) 

class Event(db.Model): 
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) 
    dt_start = db.Column(db.DateTime) # start time 
    dt_end = db.Column(db.DateTime) # end time 
    tz_id = db.Column(db.String) # Time Zone 

    recurrence_rule = db.Column('RecurrenceRule_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('RecurrenceRule.id')) 

# Start date must come before End date 
    CheckConstraint('dtEnd is NULL OR dtStart <= dtEnd', name='Valid: Time Period') 

class RecurrenceRule(db.Model): 
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True) 

    # Frequency Type 
    freq = db.Column(db.String(8), nullable=False, default='weekly') # type of recurrence 

    # Calendar-Based Rules 
    byDay = db.Column(db.String(35)) # List of Day of the Week 
             # "mo,tu,we" for weekly 
             # "+2MO, -1MO" = second monday, last monday for yearly or monthly 
    byMonthDay = db.Column(db.String(200)) # List of Day of the Month 
              # +1,-1" 
              # Only for Monthly or Yearly 
    byYearDay = db.Column(db.String(3078)) # List Day of the Year 
              #"+1, -1" 
              # Only for yearly 
              # Take care with leap years 
    byWeekNo = db.Column(db.String(353)) # Which week of Mon`enter code here`th 
              # "+5, -3" for fifth and third-to-last 
              # Only for yearly 
    byMonth = db.Column(db.String(29)) # Month of year. 

    # Sequence-Based Rules 
    until = db.Column(db.DateTime) # last day of occurence 
    count = db.Column(db.Integer) # number of occurences 
    interval = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable=False, default=1) # interval between recurrences 
    bysetpos = db.Column(db.String()) # Specifies specific instances of recurrence 


# Valid Values 
    CheckConstraint(freq in ('yearly', 'monthly', 'weekly', 'daily', 'single'), 
        name='Valid: Frequency Value') 
    CheckConstraint(interval > 0, name='Valid: Positive Interval') 
    CheckConstraint(byDay is not None and freq in ('daily', 'yearly', 'monthly')) 
    CheckConstraint(byWeekNo is not None and freq in ('yearly', 'monthly')) 
    CheckConstraint(byYearDay is not None and freq == 'yearly') 

# Until and Count may not coexist in the same rule. 
    CheckConstraint(not (until is not None and count is not None), 
        name='Valid: Not Both Until and Count')

czy byłeś w stanie uzyskać SQL stworzony do tego. Pracuję nad podobnym zagadnieniem i chciałbym wskazówek dla SQL. – aran
