I am currently representing the reminder in my database as seperate fields; one for hour and minute then if needed one for the day and month if the type of reminder requires it. The reminders can be a daily one, weekly, or monthly.
So. if the reminder is a daily one then all i will need is the hour and minute if it is weekly, i need hour, minute, and day if it is monthly, i need hour, minute, day, and which week (first, second, third, etc) i am trying to figure out how to best store this information in my database. i have stored each serately for the time being. can i store it as datetime and then just use portions of datetime that i need? thanks, tashfeen On Apr 5, 7:42 pm, "tashfeen.ekram" <[email protected]> wrote: > That is great. > > I would like to use Runt and represent the object the object in a > database when i need it for future use.
