How can I get the number of days between 2 dates in Oracle 11g?
Or you could have done this:
select trunc(sysdate) - to_date('2009-10-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd') from dualThis returns a NUMBER of whole days:
SQL> create view v as 2 select trunc(sysdate) - to_date('2009-10-01', 'yyyy-mm-dd') diff 3 from dual;View created.SQL> select * from v; DIFF---------- 29SQL> desc v Name Null? Type ---------------------- -------- ------------------------ DIFF NUMBER(38)
