Would the following work?
Select order_date,
(select min(date) from calendar_table
where date >= order_date + 6 days and business_day = 'Y')) as Ship_Date
from ORDERS

Subject: SQL Inspiration needed
I'm collecting alternative solutions for a couple of SQL "problems" - things that would be relatively easy (if laborious) in native RPG.
So ... given that I have a table ORDERS which contains order and shipping dates, I need to populate the shipping dates such that the shipping date is 6 "business days" after the order date.
Business days can be determined from a calendar table keyed on date and which contains a "Y" or "N" to indicate whether that date is a business day or not.
Any ideas? The only ones we come up with are so darn nasty.
