    Default mysql dayofweek

    I am having trouble using the dayof week in my sql statement, what is the
    proper format for doing this. this is what i am trying to do:

    where reqdate = dayofweek(1)
    or
    where reqdate = dayofweek(7)

    I basically want to exclude the weekends from my query. TIA

    Default Re: mysql dayofweek

    Since DAYOF WEEK() returns a numeric, where 1=Sunday and 7= Saturday, you can
    exclude weekends by selecting values returned for DAYOFWEEK(reqdate) for
    between Monday (2) and Friday (6).

    WHERE DAYOFWEEK(reqdate) BETWEEN 2 AND 6
