asked on

oracle sql dates

i have a column issued_date. i need to work out the date of the next instance of that date (based on sysdate - in this instance 03-12-2014). see the sample data below -review_date is the column i need the sql to calculate:

STUD_ID	ISSUED_DATE	review_date
267,239.00	17/07/2008	17/07/2015
260,522.00	16/02/2010	16/02/2015
172,509.00	13/09/2011	13/09/2015
299,229.00	12/01/2012	12/01/2015
123,123.00	29/02/2012	01/03/2015
266,493.00	02/05/2012	02/05/2015
311,849.00	20/03/2013	20/03/2015
228,698.00	28/06/2013	28/06/2015
98,479.00	30/10/2013	30/10/2015
340,817.00	27/02/2014	27/02/2015
355,151.00	06/10/2014	06/10/2015
12,456.00	10/12/2014	10/12/2014

try this:

ADD_MONTHS(issued_date,
(
to_number(to_char(issued_date,'yyyy'))-to_number(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy'))
) * 12
)

http:#a40478369  doesn't account for the special leap day (Feb 29) logic
i guess my solution above should be revised :)

ADD_MONTHS(issued_date,
(
case when trunc(issued_date,'year')>trunc(sysdate,'year')
then (to_number(to_char(issued_date,'yyyy'))-to_number(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy'))+1) * 12
else (to_number(to_char(issued_date,'yyyy'))-to_number(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy'))) * 12
end
)
http:#a40478422  doesn't address the leap day logic either.  

but my original post doesn't calculate the correct years  so - still some work to do here
sorry for the confusion,  My first post DOES work,  I typed in the wrong date in my test,  once I used 2014-12-03 for the sample sysdate   I was able to correctly replicate all of the results

Here's a simple test using the sample data provided

TARGET is the quested review_date
REVIEW_DATE is my result

     AS (SELECT stud_id,
                TO_DATE(issued_date, 'dd/mm/yyyy') issued_date,

the one I posted does not have such issues :)

date_add(feb_29, 12) >>> gives you a valid date
there is no such function as date_add()  in oracle unless you create one.

but, neither of your posts include a call to such a function so even if there was one, it wouldn't apply

if you mean add_months - then adding 12 months to   Feb 29  will yield Feb 28 of the following year,  NOT Mar 1 as requested.


I included both of your results in the post above to show what was happening.
If I've broken your code somehow in the test case, I apologize and please correct my mistake.

I'm basing all my comments of correct vs not correct based on the test I've shown above.

If you see a hole in my testing, please point it out and I'll do my best to post a correction.

thats great - thankyou both for your help
sdstuber,

date_add(feb_29, 12) >>> gives you a valid date
>>> should be
add_months(feb_29, 12) >>> gives you a valid date

ok, i messed up my posts, since I did not have access to oracle db at that time...

Here is my revised solution (no check for feb 29 logic here)

CASE
WHEN to_char (issued_date, 'MMDD') < to_char (sysdate, 'MMDD')
THEN (  TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (sysdate, 'yyyy')) - TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (issued_date, 'yyyy'))  + 1)  * 12
ELSE (TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (sysdate, 'yyyy')) - TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (issued_date, 'yyyy'))) * 12
END
