Thread: select to_char(current_timestamp, 'YYYY-WW');
Hello,
sorry for the stupid question, but why has the week number changed
from 44 to 45 this night? It is Friday, 2010-11-05 01:10, but I get now:
pref=> SELECT to_char(current_timestamp, 'YYYY-WW');
to_char
---------
2010-45
(1 row)
pref=> SELECT CURRENT_DATE;
date
------------
2010-11-05
(1 row)
pref=> SELECT CURRENT_TIME;
timetz
-------------------
01:12:00.65546+01
(1 row)
# date

WW is defined as starting the first week on the first day of the year.
2010 started on a Friday so the week number increments on Fridays.
There are some other format codes with different behavior ...

Thank you, that is what I thought But is there a format code for a week starting on Sunday or Monday?
