I am writing a web based calendar app, and I need users to be able to add an event that will recur, such as every Thursday for 6 weeks. Has anyone got some experience on the best way to implement something like this?

Ok, the schema is pretty simple, I have an appointment table and an appointment recurrence table:

Appointment
-------------
appID (pk)
appStaffID (fk)
appTitle
appDescription
appStartTime
appEndTime


AppointmentRecurrence
---------------------
appReccID (pk)
appID (fk)
appDate


As you can see individual appointment start and end times can't be modified. I was just going to populate the AppointmentRecurrence table with the appropriate dates when the user added an appointment, but then I realised that when users want to edit an appointment, I won't know what recurrence pattern they had previously selected. I guess I have to store these details and use some rules to work out what they selected?

Won't you be able to get all the info you need because of the AppID being in the tables?
