Is there a postgres equivalent of Oracle's next_day() function? We have a
web-based report that lists an employee's hours from Monday (of the current
week) through the following Sunday (or sometimes the same period for the
previous week); the beginning/end dates are retrieved (in Oracle) using the
next_day function, ala:

SELECT TO_CHAR ( ( NEXT_DAY ( SYSDATE, 'MONDAY' ) - 7 ),
'MM/DD/YY' ) AS THEMONDAY FROM DUAL

What would be the simplest way to do this query in PostgreSQL?
