Re: Subtract 1 month from current date

[DBarbour]

Ron,

The only problem you might have here is in defining what is a 'month.'  Is
it 30 days, 31 days, 28 days or 29 days?  Other wise it's quite simple -

     Select (sysdate - 30) from dual;    <== parentheses are not necessary,
I tend to include them for clarity.

Can someone tell me how to subtract 1 month from the current date?  Also,
where can I find answers and examples to this type of coding question?

Thanks!
