I'm new to SQL functions and trying to create a calendar table that displays custom week numbers, with each week starting with Saturday and ending on Friday. The first week of each year always contains Feb.1st of that year. For example, if the day of the week of Feb. 1st for a particular year is Tuesday, then the first week for that year is from Jan. 29 to Feb. 4.
I've been struggling with this problem for a couple days and the only solution I can come up with is as follows:
First, I created a calendar table with a column called "CustomizedWeekNo" to reflect the year cycle starting from the week containing Feb. 1st. But the first day of each week is Monday.
Create Table Calendar
(CalendarDate Date, WeekNo smallInt, WeekDayNo text, CustomizedWeekNo smallInt)
Create or Replace Function CustomizeWeekNumber()
Returns void
as $$
Declare beginDate Date :='2015-01-31'; endDate Date := '2017-01-27';
Begin
While beginDate <= endDate loop
Insert Into Calendar (CalendarDate, WeekNo, WeekDayNo, CustomizedWeekNo)
Select
beginDate As CalendarDate
,DATE_PART('week', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint As WeekNo
,(Case When DATE_PART('isodow', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint = 6
Then 'Sat'
When DATE_PART('isodow', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint = 7
Then 'Sun'
When DATE_PART('isodow', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint = 1
Then 'Mon'
When DATE_PART('isodow', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint = 2
Then 'Tue'
When DATE_PART('isodow', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint = 3
Then 'Wed'
When DATE_PART('isodow', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint = 4
Then 'Thur'
Else 'Fri'
End) As WeekDayNo;
,(Case When beginDate < '2016-01-04'
Then DATE_PART('week', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint - 5
When beginDate >= '2016-01-04' and beginDate < '2016-01-30'
Then (date_part('week', '2016-01-03'::timestamp)::smallint - 5 + date_part('week', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint)
When beginDate >= '2016-01-30' and beginDate < '2017-01-02'
Then date_part('week', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint - 4
Else
date_part('week', '2017-01-01'::timestamp)::smallint - 4 + date_part('week', beginDate::timestamp)::smallint
End) As CustomizedWeekNo;
Select (beginDate + interval'1 day') into beginDate;
End loop;
End; $$
language plpgsql;
# Run the function
select CustomizeWeekNumber()
Next, I update the "CustomizedWeekNo" column
-- My customized week starts from every Saturday and ends on every Friday
update calendar
set CustomizedWeekNo = CustomizedWeekNo + 1
where WeekDayNo in ('Sat', 'Sun');
Lastly, I create another function to return the information I need. I also reformat the value of the "CustomizedWeekNo" to include the specific year.
create or replace function update_CustomizedWeek(date, date)
returns table(Calendar_Date Date, Week_No int, WeekDay_No text, Customized_Week_No int)
as $$
begin
return query
select t.CalendarDate, t.WeekNo, t.WeekDayNo,
case when t.CustomizedWeekNo <= 9
then (date_part('year', t.CalendarDate::timestamp)::text||'0'||t.CustomizedWeekNo::text)::int
else (date_part('year', t.CalendarDate::timestamp)::text||t.CustomizedWeekNo::text)::int
end
from Calendar t
where t.CalendarDate >= $1 and t.CalendarDate <= $2
order by t.CalendarDate;
end; $$
language plpgsql;
--Example
select * from update_CustomizedWeek('2015-01-30', '2015-02-10')
The final result will look like:
Calendar_Date | Week_No | WeekDay_No | Customized_Week_No
------------- | ------- | ---------- | -------------------
2015-01-31 | 5 | Sat | 201501
2015-02-01 | 5 | Sun | 201501
2015-02-02 | 6 | Mon | 201501
2015-02-03 | 6 | Tue | 201501
2015-02-04 | 6 | Wed | 201501
2015-02-05 | 6 | Thur | 201501
2015-02-06 | 6 | Fri | 201501
2015-02-07 | 6 | Sat | 201502
2015-02-08 | 6 | Sun | 201502
2015-02-09 | 7 | Mon | 201502
2015-02-10 | 7 | Tue | 201502
As you can see, I used a lot of "hard coding" here. I would like to be able to generate a date range along with the customized week number for any year, not just 2016 or 2017. Any help is really appreciated.
Use date_bin()
. See:
date_trunc()
truncates to the previous Monday. You can still use it by adding 2 days to the input (the difference between Sat and Mon), then subtract 2 days from the output. Works perfectly.
This query produces your desired output exactly:
SELECT d::date AS "Calendar_Date"
, EXTRACT('WEEK' FROM d)::int AS "Week_No"
, to_char(d, 'Dy') AS "WeekDay_No"
, base_nr + (rn::int - 1) / 7 AS "Customized_Week_No"
FROM (
SELECT date_trunc('week', feb3) - interval '2 days' AS day1 -- subtract 2 days
, EXTRACT('year' FROM feb3)::int * 100 + 1 AS base_nr
FROM (SELECT timestamp '2015-02-03') input(feb3) -- add 2 days, so Feb 3 (!)
) t, generate_series (day1
, day1 + interval '1 year - 1 day'
, interval '1 day') WITH ORDINALITY AS d(d, rn);
Just provide Feb 3 of the respective year: timestamp '2015-02-03'
.
