In the United States, Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated the second Monday in October.
So that you don’t miss another holiday at home with mom, make sure to plan ahead and calculate (using SQL) future Thanksgiving dates!
Example:
dbadmin=> SELECT the_year AS "Year",
dbadmin-> (NEXT_DAY(('10-31-' || the_year)::DATE, 'Thursday') + INTERVAL '3 WEEKS')::DATE AS "U.S. Thanksgiving",
dbadmin-> (NEXT_DAY(('09-30-' || the_year)::DATE, 'Monday') + INTERVAL '1 WEEK')::DATE AS "Canadian Thanksgiving"
dbadmin-> FROM (SELECT (ROW_NUMBER() OVER () - 1) + EXTRACT(YEAR FROM SYSDATE) AS the_year FROM columns) foo
dbadmin-> ORDER BY the_year
dbadmin-> LIMIT 13;
