hi imran! don't exactly understand what you want to do, but rounding e.g. the year works like that
select round(to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY'),-2) from dual; i dont understand what you wanna do with days and months, but if its always 01-01 then select '01-01-'||round(to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY'),-2) from dual; will do. regards daniel Imran Ashraf wrote: > > Hi, > > how do i round dates like this: > Date = 01-01-1996 > Return = 01-01-2000 > > or > > Date = 01-01-1992 > Return = 01-01-1990 > > Thanks. > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More > http://faith.yahoo.com > -- > Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com > -- > Author: Imran Ashraf > INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com > San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message > to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in > the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L > (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
