Answer 1

WeekDay() is a function it will accept one parameter as Date and it returns weekday value.

You can try something like this. SELECT case WEEKDAY(NOW()) when 'Monday' then 1 when 'Tuesday' then 2 when 'Wednesday' then 3 when 'Thursday' then 4 when 'Friday' then 5 when 'Saturday' then 6 when 'Sunday' then END
