I would thing that given: -
- the day of week of the start date
- the day of week of the finish date
- the number of weeks between the start and finish dates
You could create some logic to figure how many, say Tuesdays, occur between
the two dates.
If there are 10 whole weeks then there would be at least 10 Tuesdays. There
may be, I think, at most one more depending on the day of week of the start
and finish. It might be that you only add one if both the start and finish
are Tuesdays. You certainly don't need a database to answer this question!

The MS DateDiff functions can give you date differences in weeks and I am
sure there are equivalent functions on other systems. Anyway you can always
find the days between two dates and divide by seven to get the answer.
