not much help, daniel

searched tahiti under 9.2, 9.0.1, 8.1.7 -- no hits for UTL_GDK or just GDK

your reference shows syntax, but shows nothing related to the determining which day of week is sunday

looks like UTL_GDK simply supports mapping oracle NLS values to ISO values -- useful stuff, but not applicable here

do you have any usage examples/scenarios?
