SQL:skillnad mellan två datum

Att få antalet dagar uteslutande lördag och söndag är inte så svårt, du hittar flera lösningar för det på SO.

Att tänka på semester är mer utmanande. En lösning är att använda Oracles SCHEDULER . Som standard används detta för SCHEDULER JOBS , men jag ser ingen anledning att inte använda det för andra ändamål.

Största problemet är påskdagen, se här:Computus. Jag tror att det mest effektiva sättet är att hårdkoda datumen och underhålla dem manuellt.

BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('New_Year', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=0101');

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Easter_Sunday',  repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=20150405,    20160327,    20170416,    20170416,    20180401,    20190421,    20200412', comments => 'Hard coded till 2020');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Good_Friday',    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=20150405-2D, 20160327-2D, 20170416-2D, 20170416-2D, 20180401-2D, 20190421-2D, 20200412-2D');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Easter_Monday',   repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=20150405+1D, 20160327+1D, 20170416+1D, 20170416+1D, 20180401+1D, 20190421+1D, 20200412+1D');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Ascension_Day',   repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=20150405+39D,20160327+39D,20170416+39D,20170416+39D,20180401+39D,20190421+39D,20200412+39D');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Pentecost_Monday', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=20150405+50D,20160327+50D,20170416+50D,20170416+50D,20180401+50D,20190421+50D,20200412+50D');

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Repentance_and_Prayer', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYDATE=1122-SPAN:7D;BYDAY=WED', 
        comments => 'Wednesday before November 23th, Buss- und Bettag');
    -- alternative solution: 
    --DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Repentance_and_Prayer', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MONTHLY;BYMONTH=NOV;BYDAY=3 WED', 
    --    comments => '3rd Wednesday in November');

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Labor_Day', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=0501');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('German_Unity_Day', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=1003');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Christmas', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=1225+SPAN:2D');

    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Christian_Celebration_Days', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERSECT=Easter_Sunday,Good_Friday,Easter_Monday,Ascension_Day,Pentecost_Monday,Repentance_and_Prayer,Christmas');
    -- alternative solution: 
    -- DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Christian_Celebration_Days', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=Good_Friday;BYDAY=1 MON, 6 THU,8 MON');
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('Political_Holidays', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERSECT=New_Year,Labor_Day,German_Unity_Day');


END;

Se syntax för kalender här:Kalendersyntax

Då kan du använda scheman så här:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION DateDiff(end_date IN TIMESTAMP) RETURN INTEGER AS
    next_run_date TIMESTAMP := TRUNC(SYSTIMESTAMP);
    res INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN
    IF end_date > SYSTIMESTAMP THEN
        LOOP
            DBMS_SCHEDULER.EVALUATE_CALENDAR_STRING('FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI; EXCLUDE=Christian_Celebration_Days,Political_Holidays', NULL, next_run_date, next_run_date);
            EXIT WHEN next_run_date >= end_date;
            res := res + 1;
        END LOOP;
        RETURN res;
    ELSE
        RAISE VALUE_ERROR;
    END IF;     
END;

SELECT DateDiff(TO_DATE('04/10/2015','mm/dd/yyyy')) AS Differenz FROM DUAL;

Skriv ut nästa 20 semester för testning:

DECLARE
    next_run_date TIMESTAMP;
BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1..20 LOOP
        DBMS_SCHEDULER.EVALUATE_CALENDAR_STRING('FREQ=DAILY;INTERSECT='Christian_Celebration_Days,Political_Holidays', NULL, next_run_date, next_run_date);
        DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(next_run_date);
    END LOOP;
END;

Uppdatera

Jag hittade till och med en mer kompakt version:

BEGIN
    -- Start with first celebration day (good Friday), all dependent celebration days have to be after this day for proper calculation of schedule
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_SCHEDULE('GOOD_FRIDAY', repeat_interval => 'FREQ=YEARLY;BYDATE=20100402,20110422,20120406,20130329,20140418,20150403,20160325,20170414,20180330,20190419,20200410,20210402,20220410,20230407,20240329,20250418,20260403,20270326,20280414,20290330,20300419', comments => 'Hard coded 2010 to 2030');
    -- Easter Sunday can be skipped for list of holidays, otherwise 'FREQ=Good_Friday;BYDAY=1 SUN+SPAN:2D'
