I am afraid you forgot the fact that prescriptions have variable time periods. It is rather unusual to take pills every 3 days, and rather common for many diseases to take pills every 8 or 12 hours. > Without SQL, one could also use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift, but > AFAIK, the whole idea behind schedule of taking pills is to retain > certain concentration of medicine in the blood flow. Hence .+3d repeater > (3d from the last time taking the pill) is more suitable. If we ask Org documentation what is "repeater", then I get this information: Timestamp with repeater interval A timestamp may contain a _repeater interval_, indicating that it applies not only on the given date, but again and again after a certain interval of N days (d), weeks (w), months (m), or years (y). The following shows up in the agenda every Wednesday: * Pick up Sam at school <2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 +1w> And that excludes hours, unspoken of other intervals. That renders the function `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' not suitable for prescription notification. In fact it is great health risk to recommend to people to use Org to track one's medical treatment due to too many "bugs" involved. And here is hours "repeater" by using external tool PostgreSQL: #+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine postgresql :results value raw SELECT '** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <' || generate_series('2022-10-28', '2022-11-04', '8 hours'::interval)::timestamptz || E'>\n' AS "* My treatement"; #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: * My treatement ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-28 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-28 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-28 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-29 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-29 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-29 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-30 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-30 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-30 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-31 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-31 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-10-31 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-01 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-01 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-01 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-02 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-02 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-02 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-03 00:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-03 08:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-03 16:00:00+03> ** TODO Take pill again SCHEDULED: <2022-11-04 00:00:00+03> -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.

Any useful tool external to any text file that may help you in work and life, is the right tool. Use anything you find useful. To correct you, this is not "database administration", it is using PostgreSQL like programming language. If there would be ready Emacs Lisp function, I would mention it, but I do not know any. This belowe is pretty much intuitive: SELECT generate_series('2022-10-28', '2022-11-26', '3 day'::interval); SELECT generate_series('2022-10-28', '2022-11-26', '3 day'::interval); generate_series ------------------------ 2022-10-28 00:00:00+03 2022-10-31 00:00:00+03 2022-11-03 00:00:00+03 2022-11-06 00:00:00+03 2022-11-09 00:00:00+03 2022-11-12 00:00:00+03 2022-11-15 00:00:00+03 2022-11-18 00:00:00+03 2022-11-21 00:00:00+03 2022-11-24 00:00:00+03 And you can have it display it with date only: SELECT generate_series('2022-10-28', '2022-11-26', '3 day'::interval)::date; generate_series ----------------- 2022-10-28 2022-10-31 2022-11-03 2022-11-06 2022-11-09 2022-11-12 2022-11-15 2022-11-18 2022-11-21 2022-11-24 And you may concatenate it how you wish: SELECT 'This is my day: ' || generate_series('2022-10-28', '2022-11-26', '3 day'::interval)::date; This is my day: 2022-10-28 This is my day: 2022-10-31 This is my day: 2022-11-03 This is my day: 2022-11-06 This is my day: 2022-11-09 This is my day: 2022-11-12 This is my day: 2022-11-15 This is my day: 2022-11-18 This is my day: 2022-11-21 This is my day: 2022-11-24 And there are complex intervals, readable to human: SELECT 'This is my day: ' || generate_series('2022-10-28', '2022-10-29', '1 hour 2 minutes'::interval); This is my day: 2022-10-28 00:00:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 01:02:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 02:04:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 03:06:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 04:08:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 05:10:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 06:12:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 07:14:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 08:16:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 09:18:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 10:20:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 11:22:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 12:24:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 13:26:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 14:28:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 15:30:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 16:32:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 17:34:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 18:36:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 19:38:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 20:40:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 21:42:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 22:44:00+03 This is my day: 2022-10-28 23:46:00+03 Now after learning about the flexibility and power of that function, you may think of using intervals for anything you wish. Within Org, you may embed it how you wish and want, including, you may produce tables with that function. Org's function `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' I find really handy, but I also find it hard coded, it is only for subtree. And I personally can rely on it as Org has too many bugs and is constantly developed. We have just found that "hours" are missing, which speaks of design planning quality level. Why would one exclude seconds? Just because author of function does not use seconds, that is why author excluded seconds, and minutes, and hours in the original function. Do I want to use a function which possibly contains errors? There are too many human errors when dealing with time, unspoken of programming errors. My choice is to use what I consider stable, and which is more flexible. As Org may be dynamically modified by external tool, then I will use any kind of tool. My Org file are mostly on the file system, there are maybe 300 files, and only 38 in the database. But then I use in the database too much of Markdown, and way much more of the text type. And any kind of the markup I want to use embeddable external tools. This is because it is useful. Personally I do not want to remain hard coded to Org type only, as it limits my work, my output, my PDF and HTML files, there are too many problems involved. To embed any external output into anything, I use templating system.
