Table prg_dates

The main table of appointments a detailed description which information are stored in this table is described in the table prg_dates structure.

prg_dates data structure
Field Type Description
created_from Text UID of the user who created this appointment (e.g. 'sally')
creating_date Timestamp with time zone The date when this appointment was created
changed_from Text UID of user who modified this appointment last (e.g. 'peter')
changing_date Timestamp with time zone The date when this appointment was modified last
user_right Text Owner of the of the appointment.
Is normally the same like the UID in created_from except in a private shared folder when the appointment was created by another user that is not the owner of the shared folder.
group_right Text Possible values are "s" for appointment with one use and "g" for group appointment
sid Text Unused
tid Text The folder id where the appointment was saved (i.e. the ID of the calendar-folder)
fid Number The folder id where the appointment was saved.
If the appointment was stored in a private folder the folder id is always "-1".

If the appointment was stored in a public folder the folder id is the id of the public folder and therefore equals with tid

order_crit Text Unused
timestampfield01 Timestamp with time zone The starting time of the appointment.

If field05 doesn't contain the value 'gtz' the normal starting time is saved. e.g. Start date is "10.08.2007 10:00:00+02" the value is saved in this way in the database "2007-08-10 10:00:00+02". Otherwiese if field05 contains the value 'gtz' is only the date without time but with server offset saved. e.g. Start date is "10.08.2007" the value is saved in this way in the database "2007-08-10 00:00:00+02". If the server timezone is "Europe/Berlin"

timestampfield02 Timestamp with time zone The ending time of the appointment.
If non recurring appointments are stored this field stores the values of the end time like the start time see information for timestampfield01.

The only exception is if a recurring appointment is saved. In this case if the value of timestampfield02 the until date of the recurrence appointment plus the appointment end time. This means in the case we have a start date = 10.08.2007 10:00, an end date = 10.08.2007 11:00 and an until = 16.08.2007 the stored value in the database is "2007-08-16 11:00:00+02".

There are three diffenrent cases:

Case one is that is it a normal appointment. In this case is the value of intfield02 NULL.
Case two is the main recurrence appointment. In this case is the value of intfield02 the same like intfield01.
Case three is an exception of a recurrence appointment. In this case is the value of intfield02 the value of intfield01 from the main recurrence appointment.

intfield03 Integer Unused
