Single DB query for fetching the business days (mysql)

I would like to know if it's possible to fetch X no of business days (date datatype) via a single DB call in mysql.

The list of holidays are stored in a table. So, the days (starting from CURDATE) which do not have entries in that table are considered to be wo开发者_如何学Pythonrking days.

Thanks!

Does the holiday table also include weekends?

Create a numbers table with a single column (num, say) and rows 1 through some-large-value - this'll come in handy. LEFT JOIN the holidays table to this table on "holidayday" = (CURDATE + INTERVAL num - 1 DAY), add a WHERE to exclude the holidays and then order this query by num ascending and LIMIT the query to the X rows.
