Hmm, why? Didn't I already state the set of requirements?

Repeating events without defined ending
Querying whether events overlap
Support of repeating patterns

An calendar entry could be a lesson, holiday, a graduation party, a semester, a birthday, a always repeating memorial,...

Weird..

I think that this design would support some sort of infinitely repeating events (limited on a time window though), would support queries over events in the future and would allow a pretty freely definable pattern syntax (depending how the software handles it) Regards,
