I am having problem with my loping.
I don't know if I have chosen the correct approach.
GOAL:
I need to insert into a table event types for a specific date range.
The calendar the event type is displayed on is divided into
15 minutes time intervals
A group consist of days of the week, each day consist of segments of
time blocks for different events:
Note:
The day segments are stored in a table linked to the group_id foreign key
Group
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Group Days| Day Segments |Event Type |# of 15 min blocks|
| ---------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
| Monday |09:00 to 12:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
| Tuesday |09:00 to 12:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
| |01:00 to 04:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
| Wednesday |09:00 to 12:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
| |01:00 to 04:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
| Thursday |09:00 to 12:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
| |01:00 to 04:00 Lunch | 201 | 12 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
| Friday |05:00 to 08:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
| |09:00 to 10:00 appointment | 201 | 4 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
| Saturday |09:00 to 12:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
| |01:00 to 04:00 appointment | 201 | 12 |
|----------------------------------------|-----------|------------------|
PROBLEM:
The problem I am having is the looping.
I selected a date range of 7 days that should generate
124 inserts instead I get 1036 inserts.
Also I need to ensure that the segments match up with the day of the week.
