Jared,
If you will closely examine the specs, the assumption is not documented.
Therefore, the application code must take into account that the 1st Wednesday of the
month may still be in the future.
select CASE WHEN to_char(to_date('08/07/2003','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'DD') <= 6
THEN CASE WHEN to_char(to_date('08/07/2003','MM/DD/YYYY'), 'DY') = 'WED'
THEN to_date('08/07/2003', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
ELSE next_day(to_date('08/07/2003', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), 'WED')
END
ELSE next_day(last_day(to_date('08/07/2003','MM/DD/YYYY')),'WED')
END
from dual;
Of course, there is a flaw in this logic. Can anyone spot it? It's
particularly nasty...
