Because I did not know Firebird supporting EXTRACT(). But thanks for
info, good to know and it works :). Just a little thing, EXTRACT()
returns the weekday number, but DOW returns the weekday as String
(Monday,...). Ok, I can use the new CASE WHEN to convert weekday
numbers into strings.

But nevertheless, DOW udf crashing server is not fine.
