Hello,

you forgot on sunday. Your solution can work, but isn't too efective

you can do:

production_date := production_date +
 CASE extract(dow from production_date)
   WHEN 0 THEN 1 -- sunday
   WHEN 6 THEN 2 -- saturday
   ELSE 0 END;

there isn't slower string comparation and it's one sql statement without two.

Hello,
(sorry for my poor english)

It's my first post here, and my doubt is very simple (I guess). I have a
function to populate a table, into "WHILE" I have the follow piece of code:

--Jump Weekend
IF (SELECT TO_CHAR(CAST(PRODUCTION_DATE as date),'Day')) = 'Saturday' THEN
           PRODUCTION_DATE := PRODUCTION_DATE + 2;
END IF;

It's to jump weekend adding 2 days on the variable "PRODUCTION_DATE",
the type of the variable is "DATE". But, I don't know why, it's doesn't
work properly, it's doesn't jump weekends, it's continues normally,
someone knows what's happen or what am I doing wrong?

I appreciate any help.
Thanks

Ranieri Mazili
