Question

I am using SQL Server with t-Sql
I have the following code that checks to see if a date falls on a weekend
and if it does, it will iterate until the day falls on a weekday

    Declare @ProDate as Date
    set @ProDate = '08/05/12'

    WHILE (DATEPART(DW, @ProDate) =  1 OR DATEPART(DW, @ProDate) =  7 )
    BEGIN

      set @ProDate =  DATEADD(day, 1, @ProDate)

    END

    select @ProDate

The code seems to work. Wondering if I missed anything or if there is a better way to handle this.

Answer 1

This code will work. It is almost identical to code that we use in a heavily used function.

The only suggestion that I might have is do you need to integrate a Holiday check? We have a Holiday table to store dates that need to be skipped as well.
