Dear All,

I have a table tAuxCalendarDates with the following columns:

Id int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
Date datetime NOT NULL,
IsHoliday bit NOT NULL

tAuxCalendarDates has all the dates as per calendar and Fridays are marked as Holiday(IsHoliday is set to 1) as follows:

ID---------Date--------IsHoliday
279----- 2012-10-05----- 1
280----- 2012-10-06----- 0
281----- 2012-10-07----- 0
282----- 2012-10-08----- 0
283----- 2012-10-09----- 0
284----- 2012-10-10----- 0
285----- 2012-10-11----- 0
286----- 2012-10-12----- 1

Now my requirement is to calculate number of holidays
between @StartDate and @EndDate and add it to the @EndDate,but the new @EndDate should not be makred as Holiday i.e, IsHoliday=1.

For Example:
declare @StartDate datetime
declare @EndDate datetime

set @StartDate=GETDATE() --(2012-10-05)
set @EndDate=GETDATE()+6 --(2012-10-11)

select @ActualHolidays = count(1) from tAuxCalendarDates where Date between @StartDate and @EndDate and IsHoliday=1

So i will get new @EndDate as follows:
set @EndDate = @EndDate + @ActualHolidays -- which will be (2012-10-12 FRIDAY, IsHoliday=1)

Note 1 : Only Fridays are not holidays any date can be marked as Holiday(Festivals, Govermnent Holidays).

Note 2 : I can achieve this using a while loop, but performance is my concern.

Thanks!

It should be doable to calculate the simple end date and then find the first (minimum) non-holiday that comes on or after that date. Something along the lines of:
;with cteSimpleEndDate
as select 
 <calculate simpleEndDate>
from
   Calendar c1 (blah, blah, blah)
)
select min(c.MyDate)
from Calendar c
inner join cteSimpleEndDate sed
   on c.MyDate >= sed.SimpleEndDate
where
   c.IsHoliday = 0
