Arnaud,

TSM comes with a rich set of SQL functions.  Get a hold of Andy Raibeck's
"Using the SQL Interface" manual, it is very useful (search the archives to
find where it is)

Date functions include

Day  - Day of month
dayname
dayofweek - 1..7 Sunday..Saturday
dayofyear
daysinmonth
daysinyear
Monthname

I've just been reviewing the manual and there are some neat ones that I'm
going to try

coalesce(value,value,value...)   returns the first non-null in the list of
values
nullif(expression1,expression2) returns null if the expressions are equal or
expression1 otherwise

Andy, your manual is great, but its a bit out of date.  Any chance of an up
to date version or even better making it a part of the shipped manual set?

Hi *SM'ers,

I'm looking for an SQL command to check the current day of week, before
starting the conditional excution of a subsequent script. I already found
something that seems to work, looking like :

Script blah ...
select date_time, message from actlog where
cast((current_timestamp-date_time) minutes as decimal(8,0)) < 1 and
dayname(date_time) = 'Tuesday'
if(rc_ok) goto tuesday
If (rc_notfound) goto restofweek
tuesday :
run script1
exit
restofweek :
run script2
exit

Unfortunately this kind of select statement take ages to complete, because
it has to go through all the activity log to find the last lines written, as
we keep one month of it !
Does anybody have a faster way doing this kind of query/test  ? (without
calling an AIX script)
Thanks in advance ....
Cheers.

Arnaud
