if you want a list of the first saturdays of every month and you're
using at least 8.4:
with q as (select d, lag(d) over ()
from generate_series('2011-02-01'::date, now()::date, '1
day') as s(d)
where extract(dow from d) = 6
)
select d from q where (lag is null) or (extract(month from d) <>
extract(month from lag));
where '2011-02-01' is the initial date and now()::date - '1 day' the
final one, replace them with you're own range
