Date 30 business days in future MS SQL
I have a table in my database called holidays with the federal holidays in it. I need to add a column in another table that is a calculated date value of what is 30 business days in the future. I know there is a lot out there on this but I need some assistance on asking our DBa admin to set this up.

by the way, if you do build a calendar table you may want to keep it and maintain it in a 'utility database' so you don't need to replicate it in many locations - but that's really up to you of course.
My table too contains only non-work days, but it has ALL non-work days, including weekends, holidays (even those that "move"), plant shutdowns, whatever.
Then I use a scalar function to return +/- (0 to ~60) business days from a given date.
[Actually, I have *two* non-work-related date tables: a *control* table with non-work dates "definitions" and the dates table itself. The control table is modified as needed, then the actual data table rows are (re)generated on demand by a proc for the date range specified. This makes it both very easy to customize non-work days by customer (which is 100% required for us) and much easier to generate many future years' worth of non-work days.]
If you want details / actual code for that, let me know.
