Hello,

you forgot on sunday. Your solution can work, but isn't too efective

you can do:

production_date := production_date +
  CASE extract(dow from production_date)
    WHEN 0 THEN 1 -- sunday
    WHEN 6 THEN 2 -- saturday
    ELSE 0 END;

there isn't slower string comparation and it's one sql statement without two.

Regards
Pavel Stehule
