SQL Doubt

[kimmybunn]

Doubt to write a SQL:

I am having a table,with different fields such as date,week_end ,month_end,year_end etc
depends on the date I need to update the flags of the reamaining fields
eg: if date is 30/12/2010
week_end(last working day of the week) ='Y'
month_end(last working day of month) ='Y'
year_end (last working day of year) ='Y'

This date always varies and depends on this date I need to set the flags to the remaining fields
As I know only the basics of DB2,please anyone give me the complete SQL for the above mentioned scenario


Thanks in advance

Not sure if this is best way of doing it, but if your objective is to create a calendar table, the following might be what you are after:

create table days(dt date,
week_end char(1) generated as 
    (case dayofweek(dt)
          when 6 then 'Y'
          else            'N'
     end),
month_end char(1) generated as
   (case
         when month(dt) = month(date(dt) +
                      (case dayofweek(date(dt))
                            when 6 then 3
                            when 7 then 0
                            when 1 then 0
                            else            1
                       end) days) then 'N'
          else                              'Y'
    end),
year_end char(1) generated as
    (case
          when year(dt) = year(date(dt) +
                      (case dayofweek(date(dt))
                            when 6 then 3
                            when 7 then 0
                            when 1 then 0
                            else            1
                       end) days) then 'N'
           else                             'Y'
     end)) 

Populate it with test data as follows and see if it's what you are after:

insert into days(dt)
  with i(lvl) as 
        (values(1)),
         n(lvl) as (select lvl
                        from i
                      union all
                      select n.lvl+1
                        from n
                      where n.lvl < 800)
  select current date + lvl days from n
