How to get week start and end date string in PostgreSQL?

Viewed 78625

I am using PostgreSQL 8.3. I have a table like this:

id        regist_time        result
-----------------------------------
1     2012-07-09 15:00:08      3
2     2012-07-25 22:24:22      7
4     2012-07-07 22:24:22      8

regist_time's data type is timestamp.

I need to find a week time interval(start to end) and sum(result) as num.

I want to get the result as:

      week                    num    
---------------------------------
7/1/2012-7/7/2012              10
7/8/2012-7/14/2012              5
7/15/2012-7/21/2012             3
7/22/2012-7/28/2012            11

I can get the week number just in this year:

SELECT id,regis_time, EXTRACT(WEEK FROM regis_time) AS regweek
FROM tba

The key part is

EXTRACT(WEEK FROM regis_time) 

extract function can only get the week number in this year, how can I get start time to end time in one week?

If you want to get week start and end date with week start day is any day in the week (Monday, Tuesday, ...). You can use this way:

day_of_week_index mapping:

{
    'monday': 1,
    'tuesday': 2,
    'wednesday': 3,
    'thursday': 4,
    'friday': 5,
    'saturday': 6,
    'sunday': 7
}

Query template:

SELECT 
concat(
    CASE
        WHEN extract(ISODOW FROM datetime_column) < day_of_week_index THEN cast(date_trunc('week', datetime_column) AS date) - 8 + day_of_week_index
        ELSE cast(date_trunc('week', datetime_column) AS date) - 1 + day_of_week_index
    END, ' - ', 
    CASE
        WHEN extract(ISODOW FROM datetime_column) < day_of_week_index THEN cast(date_trunc('week', datetime_column) AS date) - 8 + day_of_week_index + 6
        ELSE cast(date_trunc('week', datetime_column) AS date) - 1 + day_of_week_index + 6
    END) 
FROM table_name;

Example:

Get week start and end date with week start day is Tuesday:

SELECT 
concat(
    CASE
        WHEN extract(ISODOW FROM TIMESTAMP '2021-12-01 03:00:00') < 2 THEN cast(date_trunc('week', TIMESTAMP '2021-12-01 03:00:00') AS date) - 8 + 2
        ELSE cast(date_trunc('week', TIMESTAMP '2021-12-01 03:00:00') AS date) - 1 + 2
    END, ' - ', 
    CASE
        WHEN extract(ISODOW FROM TIMESTAMP '2021-12-01 03:00:00') < 2 THEN cast(date_trunc('week', TIMESTAMP '2021-12-01 03:00:00') AS date) - 8 + 2 + 6
        ELSE cast(date_trunc('week', TIMESTAMP '2021-12-01 03:00:00') AS date) - 1 + 2 + 6
    END);

=> Result:

2021-11-30 - 2021-12-06

Note: You can change the day_of_week_index following the above mapping to determine the week start day (Monday, Tuesday, ..., Sunday)
