User Events Management System

This issue is required for the development of the issue on the bot repo https://github.com/python-discord/bot/issues/1172

The system will require two new tables: User Events and Scheduled Events

User Events

Fields

• Name (primary key)
• Owner (user ID)
• Subscriptions (many-to-many field of users)

Operations

• Add a new event record
• Add a user to the subs field
• Query subs by name.
• Remove a user from the subs field
• Remove an event

Scheduled Events

Fields

• Event name (foreign key)
• Start time (datetime)
• Duration

Operations

• Add a new schedule for an event
• Query an event’s start time by name
• Remove an event’s schedule

Yeah, we could do that. Would require an extra field during creation probably. And a way to edit it.

What would be the reasoning behind changing an event name? If it’s just a typo at the moment of creation, they can just delete and make a new one. If it’s a matter of changing the purpose of the event, I’m not sure we want to allow that. The purpose of having an events table is to allow users to subscribe to them. Users who subscribe to an event about Yu-Gi-Oh! won’t want to suddenly find out they’re subscribed to an event about the Spice Girls.

Also, even if you use the UID the event name should still be unique. Design-wise, that sounds like it would be more fitting for it to be the primary key.
