..data till Nov30.

I want to update enabled column to 0 for all days where it is Saturday/Sunday. Tried using extract() but it returns day number for a date eg: extract on 2020-Nov-27 will return 27

Answer 1

You can use to_char() :

update t
    set enabled = 1
    where to_char(scheduled_date, 'Dy') in ('Sun', 'Sat');

Answer 2

The below query can help you to get the particular day from a time

 select to_char(SHCEDULED_DATE,'Day') from date_stack

Below is to update

update date_stack set enabled='0' where SHCEDULED_DATE in (select SHCEDULED_DATE from date_stack where trim(to_char(SHCEDULED_DATE,'Day'))='Saturday' or trim(to_char(SHCEDULED_DATE,'Day'))='Sunday' )
