CREATE EXTENSION pgcalendar;Usage
pgcalendar is a recurring calendar extension for PostgreSQL. The upstream README models recurring schedules with four main pieces: events, schedules, exceptions, and generated projections.
Create events and schedules
CREATE EXTENSION pgcalendar;
INSERT INTO pgcalendar.events (name, description, category)
VALUES ('Daily Standup', 'Team daily standup meeting', 'meeting');
INSERT INTO pgcalendar.schedules (
event_id, start_date, end_date, recurrence_type, recurrence_interval
) VALUES (
1, '2024-01-01 09:00:00', '2024-01-07 23:59:59', 'daily', 1
);The README shows daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly recurrences, with extra columns such as recurrence_day_of_week, recurrence_day_of_month, and recurrence_month depending on the recurrence type.
Query projections
SELECT * FROM pgcalendar.get_event_projections(
1, '2024-01-01'::date, '2024-01-07'::date
);
SELECT * FROM pgcalendar.get_events_detailed(
'2024-01-01'::date, '2024-01-31'::date
);The README also uses the pgcalendar.event_calendar view as a quick verification target.
Exceptions and schedule transitions
INSERT INTO pgcalendar.exceptions (
schedule_id, exception_date, exception_type, notes
) VALUES (
1, '2024-01-15', 'cancelled', 'Holiday - meeting cancelled'
);
SELECT pgcalendar.transition_event_schedule(
p_event_id := 1,
p_new_start_date := '2024-01-15 09:00:00',
p_new_end_date := '2024-01-31 23:59:59',
p_recurrence_type := 'weekly',
p_recurrence_interval := 2,
p_recurrence_day_of_week := 1,
p_description := 'Changed to bi-weekly schedule'
);Use pgcalendar.check_schedule_overlap(...) before adding a new schedule when you need to verify that date ranges do not overlap.
Caveat
The upstream README is the only user-facing documentation currently published. It gives clear table and function examples, but it does not add separate versioned release notes for user-visible SQL changes.
