Creating a 4-4-5 Time Dimension

Hello:

Very soon my company will be moving to a 4-4-5 reporting schedule. Basically, what this means is that the first month of the quarter will have 4 weeks, the second will have 4 weeks, and the third will have 5 weeks. Therefore, for the 2007 the dates for Jan, Feb and Mar will be as follows:

Jan - 1 - 27

Feb - 28 - 24

Mar - 25 - 31

Currently, I have an SSIS package creating a record for each day in the Time Dimension. Is there any script out there that will help me build a Fiscal calendar such as the one described above?

I realize that this is not a direct SSIS question but I figured that some of you might have encountered this situation and hence my post.

Thank you!

Phew. That doesn't sound easy - other than just looping over the weeks I don't see how it could be done. I suggest you post this on the T-SQL forum. I bet there's some people on there that would love to have a go at this.

|||I agree wit Jamie, the T-SQL forum is a better place for that. We have handle those cases in the past via stored procedure, but sorry I don't have a sample now. This a fairly common scenario and I am pretty sure there have to be some sample code out there.|||

Thank you for your response! I will close this one out.
