I'm not sure of an exact query, but if you can get the total number of days
you can mathmatically get the biz days with the following math (in psuedo
code):
$days = total_days_between_a_and_b;
$weeks = ($days / 7);
$weekend_days = $weeks * 2;
$business_days = ($days - $weekend_days);
Hope this helps. There may be more elegant ways of getting such a value.
This doesn't take into account day A being wednesday. You might be able to
do a SELECT COUNT(*) on evaluating your date to it's Day value in
('Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri')
Check the date commands.

Subject: # of Business Days?
Can anyone out there help me with a SQL query? I need to find the number of
business days between date a and b? Obviously finding simply the number of
days is easy, but I have no clue how to find the number of business days.
TIA!
