Weekend dates

Weekend dates

I have a sql database and ASP pages.

How do I find out the DATES of THIS WEEKEND (fri-sun).

If today is Tuesday, I want to show information posted for THIS WEEKEND.

My table has a field called THEDATE which is what we need to search and
in the format MM/DD/YYYY.

Thanks!

What is the datatype of THEDATE? if it's a datetime field, then the
format is irrelevant.
If it's datetime, are you storing time as well as date in the field ?

What does "this weekend" mean? The coming weekend? Specifically, when does
it transition to the next one? On Saturday? On Monday?

Also, do you want to compute this in the database or in your web script? In
either case, what is the environment (ASP: JScript/VBScript, database: SQL
Server/Oracle/MySQL/MS Access)?
