How to get all the weekend dates of the current year in SQL? - sql

Question

I tried but could not get the right solution. I want an SQL query that lists all the weekend dates of the current year.
I tried this SQL query:
WITH hier(num, lvl) AS (
SELECT 0, 1
UNION ALL
SELECT 100, 1
UNION ALL
SELECT num + 1, lvl + 1
FROM hier
WHERE lvl < 100
)
SELECT lvl [Week],
convert(date,DATEADD(dw, -DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(wk,DATEDIFF(wk,0,'12/31/'+convert(nvarchar,YEAR(getdate()))), 0)+6 ),
DATEADD(wk, DATEDIFF(wk,0,'12/31/'+convert(nvarchar,YEAR(getdate()))), 0)+6 ) - num * 7,101) [End Date]
FROM hier a
where num < 52
ORDER BY [End Date] asc
Its output is like this:
Week End date
52 2012-01-14
51 2012-01-21
50 2012-01-28
49 2012-02-04
I want the dates to start from the beginning – so, the above is missing one weekend, which is 2012-07-01. Also, I want the week numbers to show as 1, 2, 3... instead of 52, 51....

Check out this blog post.
Your question is explained in detail.
DECLARE #Year AS INT,
#FirstDateOfYear DATETIME,
#LastDateOfYear DATETIME
-- You can change #year to any year you desire
SELECT #year = 2010
SELECT #FirstDateOfYear = DATEADD(yyyy, #Year - 1900, 0)
SELECT #LastDateOfYear = DATEADD(yyyy, #Year - 1900 + 1, 0)
-- Creating Query to Prepare Year Data
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT 1 AS DayID,
#FirstDateOfYear AS FromDate,
DATENAME(dw, #FirstDateOfYear) AS Dayname
UNION ALL
SELECT cte.DayID + 1 AS DayID,
DATEADD(d, 1 ,cte.FromDate),
DATENAME(dw, DATEADD(d, 1 ,cte.FromDate)) AS Dayname
FROM cte
WHERE DATEADD(d,1,cte.FromDate) < #LastDateOfYear
)
SELECT FromDate AS Date, Dayname
FROM CTE
WHERE DayName IN ('Saturday','Sunday') -- For Weekend
/*
WHERE DayName LIKE 'Sunday'
WHERE DayName NOT IN ('Saturday','Sunday') -- For Weekday
WHERE DayName LIKE 'Monday' -- For Monday
WHERE DayName LIKE 'Sunday' -- For Sunday
*/

Will this help
DECLARE #startDate DATETIME, #endDate DATETIME
SELECT #startDate = '2012-01-01', #endDate = '2012-12-31'
;WITH Calender AS (
SELECT #startDate AS dt
UNION ALL
SELECT dt + 1 FROM Calender
WHERE dt + 1 <= #endDate
)
SELECT
dt
,NameMonth = DATENAME(Month, dt)
,NameDay = DATENAME (Weekday,dt)
,WeekofYr = DATEPART(WEEK, dt) FROM Calender
WHERE DATENAME (Weekday,dt) IN ('Sunday')
Option(MaxRecursion 0)
Result(Partial)
dt NameMonth NameDay WeekofYr
2012-01-01 00:00:00.000 January Sunday 1
2012-01-08 00:00:00.000 January Sunday 2
...............................................
...............................................
2012-12-30 00:00:00.000 December Sunday 53

Answer 3

you can try this
DECLARE #FirstDateOfYear DATETIME
SET #FirstDateOfYear = ’2010-01-01′
SELECT DISTINCT DATEADD(d, number, #FirstDateOfYear),
CASE DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(d, number, #FirstDateOfYear))
WHEN 7 THEN ‘Saturday’
WHEN 1 THEN ‘Sunday’
ELSE ‘Work Day’
END
FROM master..spt_values
WHERE number BETWEEN 0 AND 364
AND (DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(d, number, #FirstDateOfYear)) = 1 OR DATEPART(dw, DATEADD(d, number, #FirstDateOfYear)) = 7)
ORDER BY DATEADD(d, number, #FirstDateOfYear)

Answer 4

Try to find the first Saturday by doing this:
Start on 2012-01-01
If it's not a Saturday, add a day
Goto 2
Then, into a temporary table, add that date and the following date (Sunday).
After that, loop the following:
Add 7 and 8 days to the last Saturday you found (you get the following Saturday and Sunday)
Check whether they are still in 2012
If they are, store them in temp table and goto 1
There may be more elegant ways, but that's my quick & dirty solution. As you didn't post any code of what you've tried, I'll leave the implementation up to you.

Answer 5

this also works
declare #dat datetime, #add int
set #dat = '20120101'
set #add = datepart(w,#dat)
set #add = 5 - #add -- friday
set #dat = dateadd(d,#add,#dat)
while #dat <= '20121231'
begin
print #dat
set #dat = dateadd(d,7,#dat)
end

Answer 6

;with AllDaysOfYear (Day) as (
select DATEADD(year,DATEDIFF(year,0,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),0) --Jan 1st
union all
select DATEADD(day,1,Day) from AllDaysOfYear
where DATEPART(year,DATEADD(day,1,Day)) = DATEPART(year,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
)
select
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Day) as WeekNo,
Day
from
AllDaysOfYear
where
DATEPART(weekday,Day) = DATEPART(weekday,'20120714')
option (maxrecursion 0)
First, generate a set of all of the days in the current year (AllDaysInYear). Then, select those whose weekday is a saturday. The value I've used ('20120714') isn't terribly important - it just has to be any saturday, from any year. I'm just using it to avoid needing to have particular DATEFIRST or language settings.

Answer 7

This query shows how to get the first day of this year and the first day of the next year in the first part. The first day of the next year is calculated once so as not to keep getting and comparing the year parts.
;WITH cte(TheDate,NextYear) AS
(
SELECT CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(4),GETDATE(),112)+'0101' AS DATETIME),
CAST(YEAR(GETDATE())*10000+10101 AS CHAR(8))
UNION ALL
SELECT DateAdd(d,1,TheDate),NextYear
FROM cte
WHERE DateAdd(d,1,TheDate)<NextYear
)
SELECT Week = DatePart(wk,TheDate),
TheDate
FROM cte
WHERE DateName(dw,TheDate) in ('Saturday')
ORDER BY TheDate
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 366)
