RE: Quick SQL assistance

Interesting....I think this will work, but had to add a TRIM to the TO_CHAR as 
it has spaces around "SUNDAY" (in my case).

select host_name, target_name, to_char(snap_date,'DAY'), snap_date, 
tablespace_size_mb
from
(
select distinct HOST_NAME,
TARGET_NAME,
TARGET_DESC,
TARGET_TYPE,
SNAP_DATE,
round(SUM(TABLESPACE_SIZE/1024/1024),2) as TABLESPACE_SIZE_MB,
round(sum(TABLESPACE_FREE_SIZE/1024/1024),2) as TABLESPACE_FREE_SIZE_MB,
round(sum(TABLESPACE_USED_SIZE/1024/1024),2) as TABLESPACE_USED_SIZE_MB,
round((sum(tablespace_used_size)/sum(tablespace_size))*100,2) as 
TABLESPACE_PERCENT_USED
from db_tablespaces
group by host_name, target_name, target_desc, target_type, snap_date
order by host_name, target_name
)
where trim(to_char(snap_date,'DAY'))='SUNDAY'

or

where to_char(snap_date,'D')=1 (Thanks to Christopher Boyle for that one as 
well)

I've never used TO_CHAR that way before.  Very enlightening!!

I'm not sure if I understand what you're trying to get - you mean you only want 
it to return records where snap_date is a Tuesday?  If so, you can do that with 
this syntax:

WHERE to_char(snap_date,'DAY') =  'TUESDAY'
