John,
That thread asked how to find business days between any two specified
dates. I would like to create a calendar table that includes business days,
holidays, Julianized dates, and other interesting tid-bits that are of value
in a business application. Then dates can be looked up in the table to learn
their attributes and the calculations don't need to be done each time.
A Google search with the terms "sql calendar table" returns > 1.4 million
hits. They're almost all SQL Server, T-SQL, and similar. I am really
surprised at not finding a postgresql solution among all these (but I looked
only at the first 40 hits).
