There is the year start/end boundary conditions to worry about there.
If the current week covers Dec28-Jan02 then week of year won't help for
a birthday on Jan01 or Jan02 if 'today' is in the Dec portion. Ditto
for birthday in Dec portion when 'today' is in the Jan portion.
There is probably a better way to do it than what I'm showing here, but
here's an example:
with x as (
select now() - (extract(dow from now()) || ' days')::interval as
weekstart
)
select to_char(x.weekstart, 'YYYY-MM-DD') as first_day,
to_char(x.weekstart + '6 days', 'YYYY-MM-DD') as last_day
from x;
You could probably make some of that into a function that accepts a
timestamptz and generates the two days. Or even does the compare too.
HTH.
