Let us say there is a table which stores data for student's attendance for classes. The student only need to attend each class once weekly. Hinging on the days_diff column, we decide which weeks the student should get credited for. As usual, each week has 7 days and the end of the week (in days) is divisible by 7. There is a different case for Week 3 in my scenario, whenever the week_3 is attended, the week ends at that attendance date and week_4 is started the next day.
I am using postgreSQL 11.4!
