Supposing a table named tbl and datetime columns named d1 and d2, something like this (not optimised)...
SELECT
d1,
d2,
@dow1 := DAYOFWEEK(d1) AS dow1,
@dow2 := DAYOFWEEK(d2) AS dow2,
@days := DATEDIFF(d2,d1) AS Days,
@tuesdays := FLOOR( @days / 7 ) +
IF( @[EMAIL PROTECTED],
IF( @dow1=3, 1, 0 ),
IF( @dow1<=3,
IF( @dow2>=3,
1,
IF( @days>0, 1, 0 )
),
IF( @dow2 >=3, 1, 0 )
)
)
AS Tuesdays
FROM tbl
ORDER BY d1,d2;PB

I have a table with session information, with a start and stop time.
I can aggregate the information, grouping it by hour or weekday.
But, when I group it by hour and weekday, I need to also show the average usage, so I need to figure out how many Tuesdays are contained within 1/1/2004 - 5/1/2004, and I need to come up with a result where I know how many of each day of the week is within that date range.
I am hoping someone may have a solution, as, once I know the number of Tues then I can state the average number of sessions on a Tuesday at 4pm.
Thanx for any help.
