Arguments¶date_or_timestamp_expr
A date or a timestamp, or an expression that can be evaluated to a date or a timestamp.
dow_string
Specifies the day of week used to calculate the date for the next day. The value can be a string literal or an expression that returns a string. The string must start with the first two characters (case-insensitive) of the day name:
su
(Sunday)
mo
(Monday)
tu
(Tuesday)
we
(Wednesday)
th
(Thursday)
fr
(Friday)
sa
(Saturday)
Any leading spaces and trailing characters, including spaces, in the string are ignored.
This function returns a value of type DATE, even if date_or_timetamp_expr
is a timestamp.
Return the date of the next Friday that occurs after the current date:
SELECT CURRENT_DATE() AS "Today's Date", NEXT_DAY("Today's Date", 'Friday') AS "Next Friday";
Copy
+--------------+-------------+ | Today's Date | Next Friday | |--------------+-------------| | 2025-05-06 | 2025-05-09 | +--------------+-------------+
Your output will be different because the example uses the CURRENT_DATE function.
