Is there an oracle function that identifies the day of the week.
E.g. In DB2 it is dayofweek and the number 7 represents sunday.
Many thanks for any help.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for. Is this helpful?
09:16:41 ==> select to_char(sysdate, 'Day') from dual;
TO_CHAR(S
---------
Thursday

See thread "to_char(sysdate,'D') - number of the day".
The problem with TO_CHAR(...,'D') is that it gives a different result depending on the user's NLS settings. Something to do with Americans starting their weeks on a different day to the rest of the world.
