Doubt to write a SQL:
I am having a table,with different fields such as date,week_end ,month_end,year_end etc
depends on the date I need to update the flags of the reamaining fields
eg: if date is 30/12/2010
week_end(last working day of the week) ='Y'
month_end(last working day of month) ='Y'
year_end (last working day of year) ='Y'
This date always varies and depends on this date I need to set the flags to the remaining fields
As I know only the basics of DB2,please anyone give me the complete SQL for the above mentioned scenario
Thanks in advance

Hello Kimmy and welcome to the forum,
This does not appear to be something to handled by a simple sql query.
Somehow, all of the business rules surrounding calendar processing for your organization need to be considered. For example, what it the last day of a month is on Monday, but that is a holiday? |

Hi Thanks alot for the reply.
Yes whatever you said is correct.Last working day(Shouldnt be a bank holiday).If last day of month is a bank holiday then the last working day is Friday.
I have gone through some of the old postings.Is it possible to use case staement or a procedure for doing the same
Expecting valuable informations from experts
Thanks
Kimmy |

calendars are a murky issue, that should not be solved by individuals,
but at organization level providing the proper tools and standards
( standards at least )
You better speak with somebody higher in Your organization
in all the organization I worked in, there was such an approach
and yearly according to the organization product life cycle and to the legal issues
all the relevant calendar management routines were reviewed |

OK thanks for the information.
But from my knowledge,dayofweek function is available in db2 (eg:dayofweek('18/01/2008')and with this I can get the numeric values such as 1, 2, ...7.using this value I can update the table for the field 'week_end' rite?
For the time being I can hardcode the bank holidays for this 2008 year.
Is it a good idea to implement
Please advise |
