Re: Recursively use a function to exclude Weekends and National Holidays to find a due date

Hello mr.Peter Brawley,

Thanks for the response.

By using the function I am able to filter the weekends and move to the next working day (Monday).

As you suggested "if I have to aintain a calendar table with a row for every day in the relevant range, then simply count rows between days excluding weekend days & holidays", I need to enter the year wise data in it every year.

Is there any other way, where i can loop through the holidays check again whether next arived date is again weekend and again public holiday, till I finally arrive to a working date which is not a public holiday or Sat. & Sunday.

Currently, the only problem I am facing when I use the function recursively is
I am not able ignore the already checked public holiday date.

For example ;

When I say that my start date is 2019-03-5 and the Working Days target is 5 then it arrives on 2019-03-12 which is a Monday and then it checks whether it is a public holiday since I am checking the date range in the holiday_list table bysing the query

SELECT cont(*) from holiday_list where holiday_date between iStartDate and iEndDate; -- >

-- > First time it gives 1 as the count when the iEnddate is 2019-3-12 and then second time it gives 2 when the date range checked is 2019-03-12 and 2019-03-13. But the date 2019-03-12 is already checked so it should ignore the startdate 2019-03-12, that is where I am getting a wrong date which is finally returned when the function ends recursively.

Please advice.

Thanks and regards
P.Pandit
