Hello !
I have a week number (ISO 8601) and a year, based on theses values,
I would like to get the first and the last dates of that week.
How I can do that ?
The only solution is doing a big generate_series to build a subset
that contains the week of all the dates between the 01/01 || year
and the 31/12 || year. But I find that solution quite dirty and
ressources consumming.
Is there a cleanest way to do that ?
You can use to_date for most of that, like:
development=> select to_date('01 02 2008', 'ID IW YYYY') AS start,
to_date('07 02 2008', 'ID IW YYYY') AS end;
start | end

I'm a bit surprised that specifying the weekdays doesn't make any
difference here, maybe it's my version?:
development=> select version();
version

Anyway, you can solve that by adding an interval '6 days' to the end
result.
