SQL Concatenate Fiscal Year

Need version info

Each database vendor has a slightly different syntax for their SQL implementation. What database is this for please?

select 
      concat('FY ', CASE WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT) < 10 
                    THEN right(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT) ,2)
                    ELSE right(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT)+1 ,2)
            END) AS FY
from your_table

Select allOpen in new window

java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00904: "RIGHT": invalid identifier

OK. That's because I used a function supported by MySQL but not Oracle. You did not tell us the database was Oracle. In future please always add the database vendor to your sql related questions.

The alternative in Oracle is to use substr() and the manner of concatenation can be different as well.

select 
      'FY ' || CASE WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT) < 10 
                    THEN substr(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT) ,-2)
                    ELSE substr(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT)+1 ,-2)
            END AS FY
from (
    select to_date('2017-09-11','yyyy-mm-dd') as C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT from dual
    union all
    select to_date('2018-01-01','yyyy-mm-dd') as C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT from dual
    ) d

OR

select 
      concat('FY ', CASE WHEN EXTRACT(MONTH FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT) < 10 
                    THEN substr(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT) ,-2)
                    ELSE substr(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT)+1 ,-2)
            END) AS FY
from (
    select to_date('2017-09-11','yyyy-mm-dd') as C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT from dual
    union all
    select to_date('2018-01-01','yyyy-mm-dd') as C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT from dual
    ) d

I'm assuming you're trying to deal with a September 30th fiscal year ending. If that's the case, you might just try -
SELECT 'FY '||TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(C_COMPLETE_REQUEST_RECVD_DT,3),'YY') as fiscal_year
FROM yourtable;

Thank you again Bill

Welcome, glad that helped.

I would have thought you might have found my solution worthwhile. It seemed a lot simpler than applying multiple extract functions, a case statement, and an implicit type conversion (i.e. adding 1 to the extract of the year before the concatenation). :-(
