Here is an interesting question I received from my friend who is working in Bank as a DBA.
“Pinal,
We have a requirement in bank that every 2nd and 4th week we keep more cash in our bank where as we can keep less cash on other weeks. I want to write an automated script which indicates that if the current week is ODD or EVEN. Based on this information, I can write more actions in my procedures. Do you have such script which can help me?”
Very interesting question. The matter of fact, I have a script which I have been using quite a while for similar logic. The script is not written by me, but I have it with me as a resource for quite a while. Here is the script.
DECLARE @CurDate DATETIME
SET @CurDate = GETDATE()
SELECT
WeekOfMoth = DATEPART(wk, @CurDate)
- DATEPART(wk,DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(M, 0, @CurDate), 0)) + 1,
CASE WHEN (DATEPART(wk, @CurDate)
- DATEPART(wk,DATEADD(m, DATEDIFF(M, 0, @CurDate), 0)) + 1) % 2 = 1
THEN 'Odd' ELSE 'Even' END EvenOrOdd
If I run above script for today’s date 12/7/2014, it will give me following results.
