Re: weekdays display in postgresql

My reason for putting the weekday number as the last field in chealth.sql
shared earlier is that whenever I put it just after date, the phealth.sql
script I'll share with the list now always threw an error and wouldn't
provide output for me.
cut here.

The last script used to actually populate the health table is made by
using the uhealth.sh script I shared earlier.  So for weekdays in this
context to really be useful, as soon as a date is keyed into the system a
field adjacent to date would have to take the date as input and generate
the weekday and populate the adjacent weekday field.  Where to do this and
with what code I do not yet know.
