Re: SQL Date Challenge

Folks,

Thanks for your suggestions. Apparently I wasn't clear enough about
what I'm trying to do:

> >
> > SELECT ALL Wednesdays BETWEEN 5/1/01 AND 6/1/01;
> >
>
> somthing like:
>
> select date from xx where to_char(date,'fmdy') = 'wed';

This doesn't solve my problem, as the suggestion above presupposes that
I have a temp table of all possible dates in the range, or
misunderstands that I am trying to find all Wednesdays in column x.

I am trying to list all Wednesdays that are *not* in column x.

This requires me to build a list of all possible Wednesdays (within a
date range), preferably *without* first having a table of all dates in
existance! Some sort of manipulation of the date processor should be
possible, shouldn't it?
