WEEK_CEIL

Description

The week_ceil function rounds up an input datetime value to the nearest specified week interval start time. If origin is specified, it uses that as the reference; otherwise, it defaults to 0000-01-01 00:00:00.

Date calculation formula:

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{week\_ceil}(\langle\text{date\_or\_time\_expr}\rangle, \langle\text{period}\rangle, \langle\text{origin}\rangle) = \\ &\min\{\langle\text{origin}\rangle + k \times \langle\text{period}\rangle \times \text{week} \mid \\ &k \in \mathbb{Z} \land \langle\text{origin}\rangle + k \times \langle\text{period}\rangle \times \text{week} \geq \langle\text{date\_or\_time\_expr}\rangle\} \end{aligned}$$

$k$ represents the number of periods needed from the reference time to reach the target time.

Syntax

WEEK_CEIL(`<date_or_time_expr>`)
WEEK_CEIL(`<date_or_time_expr>`, `<origin>`)
WEEK_CEIL(`<date_or_time_expr>`, `<period>`)
WEEK_CEIL(`<date_or_time_expr>`, `<period>`, `<origin>`)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
<date_or_time_expr>	The datetime value to round up, supports date/datetime/timestamptz types. Date type will be converted to the start time 00:00:00 of the corresponding date. For specific formats please see timestamptz conversion, and for datetime/date formats refer to datetime conversion and date conversion
<period>	Week interval value, type INT, representing the number of weeks in each interval
<origin>	Starting point for the interval, supports date/datetime types; defaults to 0000-01-01 00:00:00

Return Value

Returns TIMESTAMPTZ, DATETIME or DATE type, representing the rounded-up datetime value.

• If <period> is a non-positive integer (≤0), the function returns an error;
• If any parameter is NULL, returns NULL;
• If <datetime> is exactly at an interval start point (based on <period> and <origin>), returns that start point;
• If input is date type, returns date type
• If input is datetime type, returns datetime type with the same time portion as the origin time.
• If calculation result exceeds maximum datetime 9999-12-31 23:59:59, returns an error.
• If the <origin> date and time is after the <period>, it will still be calculated according to the above formula, but the period k will be negative.
• If date_or_time_expr has a scale, the returned result will also have a scale with the fractional part being zero.
• If the input is TIMESTAMPTZ type, it will first be converted to local_time (for example: 2025-12-31 23:59:59+05:00 represents local_time 2026-01-01 02:59:59 when the session variable is +08:00), and then perform WEEK_CEIL.
• If the input time values (<date_or_time_expr> and <period>) contain both TIMESTAMPTZ and DATETIME types, the output is DATETIME type.
