Recurring Events, SQL Query

Question

I am aware that questions about recurring events are common but I have not been able to find one with an answer to this specific question about recurring events other than those

Answer 1

SELECT DISTINCT(e.eventid),n.nameid,n.firstname,n.lastname,d.dt,r.recurring
FROM dates d 
LEFT JOIN recurringtypes r
/* if event recurring every week E.g. 'Every Monday' */
ON (r.rectypeid BETWEEN 2 AND 8 AND r.day = d.dow) 
/* if event recurring every month E.g. 'First Monday, every month' */
OR ((r.rectypeid BETWEEN 9 AND 36) AND r.day = d.dow AND r.occurrence = d.occurrence) 
/* if event recurring every last week of month E.g. 'Last Monday, every month' */
OR (r.rectypeid >= 37 AND r.day = d.dow and r.islast = d.islast)
LEFT JOIN events e on e.rectypeid = r.rectypeid OR (e.rectypeid <= 1 AND e.eventid IS NOT NULL) 
LEFT JOIN eventtypes t ON e.eventtypeid = t.eventtypeid
LEFT JOIN names n ON e.namesid = n.namesid
WHERE (d.dt BETWEEN '2012/02/01' AND '2012/05/01')
ORDER BY d.dt;
