Re: SQL Question

You can do something like

select to_char(date_column,'YYWW'), count(*), sum(other_column) from table
where date_column between date1 and date 2 group by to_char(date_column,'YYWW')

where WW returns the week of the year ( 1 to 53) keeping in mind, of course, that you must include in the group by any column in the select which does not have a group function on it (sum, max, min, avg, etc).
