Getting the month for the current date is, obviously, straight forward, but I'm needing to get the month name with a different end date.
I need to get the month name with the start date of the month being the first Thursday after the first Wednesday of the month and the end date of the month being the first Wednesday of the following month. It's for an accounting thing, so I'm not going to argue with the spec!
e.g. for 2014, January would run from 9th Jan - 5th Feb, February would run from 6th February - 5th March, March would run from 6th March - 2nd April.
I would suggest that you create a table with your 'accounting months' in it, having a start date, end date and month name columns.
You could then query this to find the row where your date is between the start and end dates and return the month name. Putting this into a scalar function would then allow it to be reusable and relatively easily updated for next years months as well.
I think, as per Paddy's answer, a lookup table is the simplest thing to do. Here's one way to generate the rows for it:
; With Numbers(n) as (
select 4 union all select 5
), Months as (
select CONVERT(date,'20010104') as StartDt,CONVERT(date,'20010207') as EndDt,
DATENAME(month,'20010103') as Month
union all
select DATEADD(week,n1.n,StartDt),DATEADD(week,n2.n,EndDt),
DATENAME(month,DATEADD(week,n1.n,StartDt))
from Months,Numbers n1,Numbers n2 --Old-skool join, just for once
where DATEPART(day,DATEADD(week,n1.n,StartDt)) between 2 and 8 and
DATEPART(day,DATEADD(week,n2.n,EndDt)) between 1 and 7 and
StartDt < '21000101'
)
select * from Months option (maxrecursion 0)
(CW since this is effectively just an extension to Paddy's answer but I don't want to edit their answer, nor is it suitable for a comment

I am querying against a table of 4 yrs of order transactions (pk = order number) and I'm looking to tag each record with particular date flags based on the order date - e.g., calendar year, calendar month, fiscal year, etc. There are date attributes that are specific to our business (e.g., not easily solved by a datepart function) that I'm having trouble with.
I was able to add "School Year" (for us that runs Aug 1 - July 31) using a case statement:
case
when datepart(month, oline.order_date_ready) between 8 and 12 then datepart(year, oline.order_date_ready)
else (datepart(year, oline.order_date_ready)-1)
end as school_yr
So for 1/19/2017, the above would return "2016", because to us the 2016 school year runs from Aug 1 2016 to July 31 2017.
But now I'm having trouble repeating the same kind of case statement for something called "Rollover Year". All of our order history tables are reset/"rolled over" on the 2nd Saturday in July every calendar year, so for example the most recent rollover date was Saturday July 9th 2016. Click to view - rollover year date ranges
My above case statement doesn't apply anymore because I can't just add "datepart(month, oline.order_date_ready) = 7" - I don't need the whole month of July, I just need all the orders occurring after the 2nd Saturday in that July. So in this example, I need everything occurring from Sat July 9 2016 to today to be flagged as rollover_date = 2016.
Is there a flexible way to do this without hard coding previous/future rollover dates into another table? That's the only way I can think to solve it currently, but I'm sure there must be a better way.
Thanks!
If you ask for the day-of-the-week of July 1st, then from there it's simple arithmetic, right? This query gives results matching your image:
SELECT y,
CONCAT(y, '-07-01')::timestamp +
CONCAT(6 - EXTRACT(DOW FROM CONCAT(y, '-07-01')::timestamp) + 7, ' days')::interval
FROM generate_series(2013, 2020) s(y)
ORDER BY y DESC
;
So given any date d from year y, if it comes before the 2nd Saturday of July, give it fiscal year y - 1. Otherwise give it fiscal year (school year?) y.
I am brand new to Oracle. I have figured out most of what I need but one field is driving me absolutely crazy. Seems like it should be simple but I think my brain is fried and I just can't get my head around it. I am trying to produce a Sales report. I am doing all kinds of crazy things based on the Invoice Date. The last thing I need to do is to be able to create a Week Number so I can report on weekly sales year vs year. For purposes of this report my fiscal year starts exactly on December 1 (regardless of day of week it falls on) every year. For example, Dec 1-7 will be week 1, etc. I can get the week number using various functions but all of them are based on either calendar year or ISO weeks. How can I easily generate a field that will give me the number of the week since December 1? Thanks so much for your help.
Forget about the default week number formats as that won't work for this specific requirement. I'd probably subtract the previous 1 December from invoice date and divide that by 7. Round down, add 1 and you should be fine.
select floor(
(
trunc(invoiceDate) -
case
-- if December is current month, than use 1st of this month
when to_char(invoiceDate, 'MM') = '12' then trunc(invoiceDate, 'MM')
-- else, use 1st December of previous year
else add_months(trunc(invoiceDate, 'YYYY'), -1)
end
) / 7
) + 1
from dual;
I have a date in sql which will always fall on a Monday and I'm subtracting 13 weeks to get a weekly report. I am trying to get the same 13 week report but for last year's figures as well.
At the moment, I'm using the following:
calendar_date >= TRUNC(sysdate) - 91
which is working fine.
I need the same for last year.
However, when I split this into calendar weeks, there will also be a partially complete week as it will include 1 or 2 days from the previous week. I need only whole weeks.
e.g. the dates that will be returned for last year will be 14-Feb-2015 to 16-May-2015. I need it to start on the Monday and be 16-Feb-2015. This will change each week as I am only interested in complete weeks...
I would do this:
Get the date by substracting 91 days as you're already doing.
Get the number of the day of the week with TO_CHAR(DATE,'d')
Add the number of days until the next monday to the date.
Something like this:
SELECT TO_DATE(TO_DATE('16/05/2015','DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/YYYY')-91 + MOD(7 - TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(TO_DATE('16/05/2015','DD/MM/YYYY'),'DD/MM/RRRR')-91,'d'))+1,7) d
FROM dual
next_day - returns date of first weekday named by char.
with dates as (select to_date('16/05/2015','DD/MM/YYYY') d from dual)
select
trunc(next_day( trunc(d-91) - interval '1' second,'MONDAY'))
from dates;
I want to get next monday from calculated date. In situation when calculated date is monday i have to move back to previous week ( -1 second).
Greetings SQL gurus,
I don't know if you can help me, but I will try. I have several large databases grouped by year (each year in a different database). I want to be able to compare values from a particular week from one year to the next. For example, "show me week 17 of 2008 vs. week 17 of 2002."
I have the following definition of weeks that ideally I would use:
Only 52 weeks each year and 7 days a week (that only takes 364 days),
The first day of the first week starts from January 2nd - which means we do not use January 1st data, and
In leap year, the first day of the first week ALSO starts from the January 2nd plus we skip Feb. 29.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best to avoid creating a table because then you have to update and maintain it to get your queries to work.
DatePart('ww',[myDate]) will give you the week number. You may run into some issues though deciding which week belongs to which year - for example if Jan 1 2003 is on Wednesday does the week belong as week 52 in 2002 or week 1 in 2003? Your accounting department will have a day of the week that is your end of week (usually Sat). I usually just pick the year that has the most days in it. DatePart will always count the first week as 1 and in the case of the example above the last week as 53. You may not care that much either way. You can create queries for each year
SELECT DatePart('ww',[myDate]) as WeekNumber,myYearTable.* as WeekNumber
FROM myYearTable
and then join the queries to get your data. You'll loose a couple days at the end of the year if one table has 52 weeks and one has 53 (most will show as 53). Or you can do it by your weekending day - this always gives you Saturday which would push a late week into the following year.
(7-Weekday([myDate]))+[myDate]
then
DatePart('ww',(7-Weekday([myDate]))+[myDate])
Hope that helps
To get the week number
'to get the week number in the year
select datepart( week, datefield)
'to get the week number in the month
select (datepart(dd,datefield) -1 ) / 7 + 1
You don't need to complicate things thinking about leap years, etc. Just compare weeks mon to sun
SInce you havea a specifc defintion of when the week starts that is differnt that the standard used by the db, I think a weeks table is the solution to your problem. For each year create a table that defines the dates contained in each week and the week number. Then by joining to that table as well as the relevant other tables, you can ask for just the data for week 17.
Table structure
Date Week
20090102 1
20090103 1
etc.
I needed to create a query that shows BOTH year AND week numbers, like 2014-52. The year shows correct when you use the Datepart() formula to convert week 53 to week 52 in the previous year, but shows the wrong year for the week that was week 1 previously that should be week 52 now. It show that week as 2015-52 instead of 2014-52.
Furthermore, it sorts the data wrong if you only use only the week number, eg:
2014-1,2014-11,2014-2
To overcome this I created the following query to insert a 0 and also to check for days in week 1 that should still fall under week 52.
ActualWeek: IIf(DatePart("ww",[SomeDate],1,3)=52 And DatePart("ww",[SomeDate])=1, DatePart("yyyy",[SomeDate],1,3)-1,DatePart("yyyy",[SomeDate],1,3)) & "-" & IIf(DatePart("ww",[SomeDate],1,3)<10,"0" & DatePart("ww",[SomeDate],1,3),DatePart("ww",[SomeDate],1,3))
I hope someone could help me on this.
I want to add a month to a database date, but I want to prevent two jumping over month on those days at the end.
For instance I may have:
Jan 31 2009
And I want to get
Feb 28 2009
and not
March 2 2009
Next date would be
March 28 2009
Jun 28 2009
etc.
Is there a function that already perform this kind of operation in oracle?
EDIT
Yeap. I want to copy each month all the records with some status to the next ( so the user don't have to enter again 2,000 rows each month )
I can fetch all the records and update the date manually ( well in an imperative way ) but I would rather let the SQL do the job.
Something like:
insert into the_table
select f1,f2,f3, f_date + 30 /* sort of ... :S */ from the_Table where date > ?
But the problem comes with the last day.
Any idea before I have to code something like this?
for each record in
createObject( record )
object.date + date blabala
if( date > 29 and if februrary and the moon and the stars etc etc 9
end
update.... et
EDIT:2
Add months did the trick.
now I just have this:
insert into my_table
select f1, add_months( f2, 1 ) from my_table where status = etc etc
Thanks for the help.
Oracle has a built-in function ADD_MONTHS that does exactly that:
SQL> select add_months(date '2008-01-31',1) from dual;
ADD_MONTHS(
-----------
29-FEB-2008
SQL> select add_months(date '2008-02-29',1) from dual;
ADD_MONTHS(
-----------
31-MAR-2008
I think you're looking for LAST_DAY:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/olap.111/b28126/dml_functions_2006.htm
I just did:
select add_months(TO_DATE('30-DEC-08'), 2) from dual
and got
28-FEB-2009
No need to use LAST_DAY. If you went that route, you could create a function that:
1. takes a date
2. Changes the day to the first of the month.
3. Add a month.
4. Changes the day to the LAST_DAY for that month.
I think you'll have to write it on your own, My advice is first to evaluate the "last day of the month" with this method:
Add one month (not 30 days, one month!)
Find first day of the month (should be easy)
substract one day
Then compare it to your "plus x days" value, and choose the lowest one (I understood the logic behind the jump from 31/Jan to 28/Feb, but I don't get it for the jump from 28-Feb to 28-Mar)
It sounds like you want the current month plus one (with appropriate rollover in December)
and the minimum of the last day of that month and the current day.
