Sure. You'd write:
{{velocity}}{{code language="sql"}}
DECLARE myDate DATETIME
SELECT myDate = '$xwiki.dateParser.parseDate( "-1b", "yyyyMMdd" )' --
this
gives us the previous business date in yyyyMMdd format
...
{{/code}}{{/velocity}}

We don't have a tutorial for writing macros yet but that'll come.
Anyone interested to help is welcome to work on this. That'd help a
lot. Currently the easiest way to learn how to write a macro is to
check out xwiki source tree and look at how the current macros are
implemented.
Thanks
