iCalendar"字段"列表(用于基于iCalendar标准的数据库模式)

Question

我的应用程序必须处理日历信息(包括单次出现,重复发生等).为了轻松与其他应用程序交互,我认为最好直接创建基于iCalendar格式(字段,关系,约束)的数据库模式,以便通过ORM获取iCalendar兼容对象,我可以轻松地在需要.

我知道RFC是可用的,但它有点复杂,因为我目前没有使用其中的所有附加信息.

有人可以指点我更容易创建基于iCal标准的数据库模式(意味着字段/字段名列表及其与iCal条目的关系)吗？

谢谢!

我已经完成了这个(仅限VEvents,不支持TODO项目或Journal entires或类似的东西).我的实现看起来像这样(在删除不是特定于问题的列之后):

-- 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]
     Primary Key
     Clustered
    ,vEventID Integer Not Null
     Constraint [fk.vEvent.rRules]
     Foreign Key
     References [vEvent] (vEventID)
     On Update Cascade
     On Delete Cascade
    ,[class]            varChar(  12) Not Null Default('public')
    ,[created]         DateTime       Not Null Default(getUTCDate())
    ,[description]     nVarChar(max)      Null
    ,[dtStart]         DateTime       Not Null
    ,[dtEnd]           DateTime           Null
    ,[duration]         varChar(  20)     Null
    ,[geoLat]          Float              Null
    ,[geoLng]          Float              Null
    ,[lastModified]    DateTime       Not Null Default(getUTCDate())
    ,[location]        nVarChar(max)      Null
    ,[organizerCN]     nVarChar(  50)     Null
    ,[organizerMailTo] nVarChar( 100)     Null
    ,[seq]             Integer        Not Null Default(0)
    ,[status]           varChar(   9) Not Null Default('confirmed')
    ,[summary]         nVarChar(  75)     Null
    ,[transparent]     Bit            Not Null Default(0)
    ,[freq]             varChar(   8) Not Null Default('daily')
    ,[until]           DateTime           Null
    ,[count]           Integer            Null
    ,[interval]        Integer        Not Null Default(1)
    ,[bySecond]         varChar( 170)     Null
    ,[byMinute]         varChar( 170)     Null
    ,[byHour]           varChar(  61)     Null
    ,[byDay]            varChar(  35)     Null
    ,[byMonthDay]       varChar( 200)     Null
    ,[byYearDay]        varChar(3078)     Null
    ,[byWeekNo]         varChar( 353)     Null
    ,[byMonth]          varChar(  29)     Null
    ,[wkSt]             Char   (   2)     Null Default('mo'));

-- Class must be one of "Confidential", "Private", or "Public"
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.Class]
Check ([class] In ('confidential', 'private', 'public'));

-- Start date must come before End date
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.dtStart]
Check ([dtEnd] Is Null Or [dtStart] <= [dtEnd]);

-- dtEnd and duration may not both be present
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.duration]
Check (Not ([dtEnd] Is Not Null And [duration] Is Not Null));

-- Check valid values for [freq]. Note that 'single' is NOT in the RFC;
-- it is an optimization for my particular iCalendar calculation engine.
-- I use it as a clue that this pattern has only a single date (dtStart),
-- and there is no need to perform extra calculations on it.
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.freq]
Check ([freq] In
    ('yearly'
    ,'monthly'
    ,'weekly'
    ,'daily'
    ,'hourly'
    ,'minutely'
    ,'secondly'
    ,'single')); -- Single is NOT part of the spec!

-- If there is a latitude, there must be a longitude, and vice versa.
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.geo]
Check (([geoLat] Is Null And [geoLng] Is Null)
       Or ([geoLat] Is Not Null And [geoLng] Is Not Null));

-- Interval must be positive.
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.interval]
Check ([interval] > 0);

-- Status has a set of defined values.
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.status]
Check ([status] In ('cancelled', 'confirmed', 'tentative'));

-- Until and Count may not coexist in the same rule.
Alter Table [rRule]
Add Constraint [rRule.ck.until and count]
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]
     Primary Key
     Clustered
    ,rRuleID Integer Not Null
     Constraint [fk.rRule.exDates]
     Foreign Key
     References [rRule] (rRuleID)
     On Update Cascade
     On Delete Cascade
    ,[date] DateTime Not Null
    ,[type] varChar(6) Not Null);  -- Type = "exDate" or "rDate" for me; YMMV.

为此,我有几个SQL Server 2005+ CLR函数,可用于计算各种事件的日期.我发现以下表格非常有用:

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

弄清楚上面的实现是很有趣的!

是的,有点.Sunbird(开源mozilla日历)基于sqlite,我刚刚下载并解压缩了他们的源代码.它中有.sql文件.

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/sunbird/releases/0.9/source/

mozilla\calendar\providers\storage\schema-7.sql - 这是sunbird用来制作有效iCal文件的模式,所以它不能太糟糕.
