I want to be able to create schedules that can be executed based on a fixed date, repeated daily, repeated on a particular day of the week, repeated on a particular month of the year, repeated on a particular date every year, and repeated at a particular time of the day.
Please how do i go about building the database tables for this problem?
Edit #1
Basically, i’m writing an application that allows users to schedule pre-configured greetings to be sent at various pre-configured times. I know i need a table that stores information about a schedule (ex. Christmas, Marketing One, … | and when the schedule should run). Then another table to record what schedule has ran, what greeting it sent, to who, and what email; basically a transactions table.
My problem is designing the Schedule table because, i want to allow users run the schedule at a specific date, on a particular day of the week (recurring), on a particular day of every month, on a particular time everyday, and on a particular day/month (ex. 25/12) every year.
How can i create a set of tables for schedule that will take care of these inputs in flexible way?
This is the table structure i came up with;
