Thanks Lauri.

In my native language, calendar is spelled "kalender" and I presume the same is the case for you.
Your solution shows that somehow intervals of some sort would be nice to have in a RDBMS.... which I already knew. One slight surprise is that you did not return a D-language solution (perhaps Alphora). My uneducated guess would be that they would have some solution to make the result more generic. 10 minute intervals seem sensible when we are talking about people calendArs, but what if we were to adopt the solution to some similar problem (getting hold of an assembly line of some kind springs to mind - or the simulation of a microprocessor where you would need e.g. two ALU's and a locked bus - 10 minute intwervals are certainly inappropriate here).

Kind regards
