Re: Job to run first Wednesday

Here's a bit of code that will always find the first wednesday of the following month:

• find the first wednesday of any month

alter session set nls_date_format = 'mm/dd/yyyy';

define testdate = '09/03/2003'

select

   trunc(add_months('&&testdate',1),'mm') +    decode( to_char(trunc(add_months('&&testdate',1),'mm'),'dy')

,'wed',0
,'thu',6
,'fri',5
,'sat',4
,'sun',3
,'mon',2
,'tue',1

   )
   --, to_char(trunc(add_months('&&testdate',1),'mm'),'dy') from dual
/

PS. You're out by the airport, correct? I interviewed there once upon a time.
