其目标是：生成时间戳的列表，每一个代表一个事件occurrance，从RRULE串（即FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;COUNT=8;WKST=SU;BYDAY=TU,TH ）和开始时间戳。 由于这些时间将在用户的兴致而改变，PostgreSQL是期望的严格的业务逻辑和（2）的触发器（1）它的质量（自动更新行当数值改变时）
另一种解决方案：
最后我用plpythonu（PostgreSQL的Python语言）。 该dateutil库有很大RRULE解析器。
mydatabase=# CREATE FUNCTION parse_occurrences(rule text, start timestamp) RETURNS timestamp[] AS
mydatabase-# 'from dateutil.rrule import *
mydatabase'# from dateutil.parser import *
mydatabase'# import datetime
mydatabase'# dates = list(rrulestr(rule, dtstart=parse(start)))
mydatabase'# return [str(a)[0:10] for a in dates]'
mydatabase-# LANGUAGE plpythonu;
CREATE FUNCTION
mydatabase=# SELECT parse_occurrences('FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;COUNT=8;WKST=SU;BYDAY=TU,TH'::text, now()::timestamp);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"2013-02-14 00:00:00","2013-02-26 00:00:00","2013-02-28 00:00:00","2013-03-12 00:00:00","2013-03-14 00:00:00","2013-03-26 00:00:00","2013-03-28 00:00:00","2013-04-09 00:00:00"}
（原始）努力：连接C-库libical与PostgreSQL的C-扩展 。 这需要一个专门的C程序执行以下操作：（1）转换的PostgreSQL数据类型到C-数据类型，（2）使用所述头文件执行所有必要的C-库函数，和（3）返回的PostgreSQL格式数据“了postgres.h”。
该连接器文件：ical_recur.c
#include "postgres.h"
#include "icalrecur.h"
#include <time.h> /* for time() */
#include "fmgr.h"
#ifdef PG_MODULE_MAGIC
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
#endif
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(get_occurrences);
Datum
get_occurrences(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
//char* rule; /* rule string */
time_t start; /* start time */
int count;
char *rrule;
// *rule = PG_GETARG_CHAR(0);
start = (time_t) PG_GETARG_INT32(1);
count = (int) PG_GETARG_INT32(2);
*rrule = PG_GETARG_CHAR(0);
time_t *result[count]; /* output array */
icalrecur_expand_recurrence(rrule, start, count, *result);
PG_RETURN_INT32(*result);
}
准备连接器文件：
步骤1：编译到目标文件，创建共享对象，复制到的位置的PostgreSQL查找C-扩展
sudo gcc -I/usr/local/libical/lib -lical -I/usr/include/postgresql/9.2/server -fpic -c ical_recur.c
sudo gcc -shared -L/usr/local/libical/lib -lical -o ical_recur.so ical_recur.o
sudo cp ical_recur.so /usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/lib/
步骤2：添加libical lib文件夹到被C发现＆重新加载配置
sudo echo "/usr/local/libical/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
sudo ldconfig
测试连接器文件：
第1步：加载了PSQL和创建函数
psql
mydatabase=# CREATE FUNCTION get_occurrences(text, integer, integer) RETURNS int[]
mydatabase=- AS '$libdir/ical_recur', 'get_occurrences'
mydatabase=- LANGUAGE C STRICT;
CREATE FUNCTION
mydatabase=#
当前路障：
在C-功能崩溃PostgreSQL服务器。
psql (9.2.3)
Type "help" for help.
mydatabase=# SELECT get_occurrences('FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;COUNT=8;WKST=SU;BYDAY=TU,TH', now()::timestamp, 5);
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

相同的日志输出。 该文件指出的参数：
INT icalrecur_expand_recurrence（字符*规则，time_t的启动，诠释计数，time_t的*阵列）
问：我们如何能得到这个没有Postgres的崩溃工作？
