| In a post to SQLteam titled, "How to verify the date is saturday or sunday" One entry said to consider select DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()) % 7 / 5I have no idea what is being considered here, and, frankly, I don't much care. But what I mostly don't understand is what kind of an operator % is. What does it do? Is this some kind of bitwise doohicky? |
