select entries from whole week

Hello,

I'd like to get all entries from "the whole week" (begin: Monday end: Sunday)
from e.g the day sysdate - 222 (today: 20.10.2004) .This means all entries with a date between 08.03.2004
and 14.03.2004 (including the borders !)

I think you can use trunc(date,'day') here. you have to be careful because it returns a different date depending on your nls settings.

for me

Code:

select trunc(sysdate,'day') from dual;

returns the 17th which is sunday so I'd use a query like this

Code:

select * from table
where table.date >= trunc(sysdate,'day')+1
   and table.date <= trunc(sysdate,'day')+7

you might also want to try the trunc format 'IW' which Oracle says is: Same day of the week as the first day of the ISO year. ... for me that returns monday.
