    The document describes a SQL query that generates a calendar table with 37 columns containing various date attributes for dates between January 2011 to December 2013. The inner query uses the CONNECT BY syntax to return all dates, and the outer query applies date functions to transform the dates into the desired formats and attributes like day of week, month, quarter, year etc. It then lists and describes each of the 37 columns generated in the calendar table.

    The inner query with the CONNECT BY LEVEL syntax returns 1 column with all days
    from January 1, 2011 till December 31, 2013. The outer query then uses various
    string and date SQL functions to convert the dates into required formats.

    The above script is just beginning. A calendar table very often contains also other
    types of attributes, such as:

    fiscal attributes (fiscal year, fiscal quarter, fiscal month, fiscal week)
    holiday flag, business day flag

    All such attributes are either company-specific or country-specific. So there is no


    general rule that could be used and added into the above query. Once a calendar
    table is created and loaded with data, these special attributes need to be handled
    afterwards.
