I'm Suprised DATEPART doesn't do this...


CREATE FUNCTION udf_WeekDay(@x datetime)
RETURNS varchar(9)
AS
  BEGIN
	RETURN (
	SELECT  
		CASE DATEPART(dw,@x)
		WHEN 1 THEN 'Sunday'
		WHEN 2 THEN 'Monday'
		WHEN 3 THEN 'Tuesday'
		WHEN 4 THEN 'Wednesday'
		WHEN 5 THEN 'Thurday'
		WHEN 6 THEN 'Friday'
		WHEN 7 THEN 'Satday'
		END)
  END
GO

SELECT dbo.udf_WeekDay(GetDate())
GO
