I want to create a scheduling app that groups times into shifts. Does anyone know how to do this?

You need to give a bit more detail. For example. What language are you using?
PHP, ASP, JSP? Which database? What does your table structure look like and
what should the output look like?

Sure,
I'm working in ASP, my database has three tables which pertain to this subject.
Basically, I have a table in the database called times, which has three values:
1. time
2. AutoID
3. ShiftID
ShiftID also exists in another table called shifts, which has the following fields.
1. ShiftID
2. Shift_Name
3. From
4. To
The last table would be reservations which has these fields.
1. ResID
2. ShiftID
3. Datex
4. Timex
4. Comments
What I want to do is create shifts on the fly using fields in the database.
Initially there would be three of them.
When a user reserves a room in the scheduling program, he enters the time and submits the record to the database. I want the application to enter a shiftID based on the time the user wants to reserve the room.
Can anyone point me in the right direction???

If your shifts are the usual, Midnight, 8 a.m., 4 p.m., then you could do a an int(Hour/8) to get 0 for Midnight shift, 1 for 'daylight', 2 for 4-12.
HTH.

If you have a MySQL table with a datetime column D1, it would look like this:
select floor(extract(hour from d1)/3) from mytable;
or
select floor(hour(d1)/3) from mytable;
This assumes your shift starts at midnight. If not, then you can use
hour(adddate(d1, interval -2 hour)) to subtract 2 hours if the first shift
is at 2AM.
