You can do it with an expression...

Yes, it is, as long as you won't want to search on it. ;-)

alter table xyz
add WeekOfTheYear
computed by (

case
when (extract(month from CertainDate) = 12)
and (extract(week from CertainDate) = 1)
then
'Week '||extract (WEEK from CertainDate)||' of year '
|| (1 + (extract( year from CertainDate)))

else 'Week '||extract (WEEK from CertainDate)||' of year '
||extract( year from CertainDate)
end )
