: A third option, do it with the SUM analytical function and DECODE:
: SELECT

: TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01/01/2008','MM/DD/YYYY')+(ROWNUM-1),'DY') DAY

: 03-JAN-08 THU
: 04-JAN-08 FRI
: =2E..
: 19-JAN-08 SAT
: 20-JAN-08 SUN
: Step 1:
: SELECT
: SUM(DECODE(DAY,'SAT',0,'SUN',0,1)) OVER (ORDER BY THE_DATE)
: MY_COUNT,
: THE_DATE,
: DAY
: FROM
: (SELECT
: TO_DATE('01/01/2008','MM/DD/YYYY')+(ROWNUM-1) THE_DATE,
