: ins1.noday must be a part of number!

Create a function in forms like this:

function get_nodays ( f_dtm_start in date,
                      f_dtm_end   in date ) return number is
begin
if
  f_dtm_start is null OR
  f_dtm_end is null
then
  return ( null );
end if;
return ( trunc ( f_dtm_start ) - trunc ( f_dtm_end ) );
exception when others
then message ( sqlerrm || ' in function get_nodays occured.' );
return ( null );
end;

Call this function in the when-validate-point triggers on ins1. INSPERIOD and: ins1.end love

:ins1.noday := get_nodays ( :ins1.INSPERIOD, :ins1.end );

It is redundant to have the: noday as a cause of part of database
the value may by calculated every time using the values INSPERIOD and: end.

  • Calculate the Date of the next

    Hello

    I have two dates:

    Start date: December 18, 2007
    End date: December 18, 2012

    I would like to calculate the next payment date, using the example above, it would be December 18, 2010.

    How can I achieve this in SQL by using the current date / month, keeping in mind, if sysdate is past the date, then the next payment date will follow month.

    Thank you

    Published by: sliderrules on December 15, 2010 08:50

    Hello

    Assuiming the due date is the same day of the month (if possible) as start_date:

    SELECT  start_date
    ,     ADD_MONTHS ( start_date
                 , CEIL ( MONTHS_BETWEEN ( SYSDATE     -- or maybe SYSDATE + 1
                                         , start_date
                                )
                     )
                 )  AS next_payment_date
    FROM    table_x
    ;
    

    If you happen to run it on December 18, the expiry date should be December 18 or January 18?
    The code above returns on 18 December. If you want Jnauary 18, replace SYSDATE SYSDATE + 1.

    Assuiming that the due date is the same day of the month (if possible) as end_date, you could do something similar with the help of end_date.
    Whatever it is, only one of the columns plays a role in this problem? What results would you if, for example. start_date was January 1, 2010 and July 20, 2012 end_date?

    I hope that answers your question.
    If not, post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and also publish outcomes from these data. For the results, after what you want if it was executed on 15 December 2010 at noon.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
    Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.

  • Calculate the date of the first or last in a quarter

    Hello

    I have data of project with a start date and end date I need to calculate the number of days per quarter

    project x: 15/03/06 - 15/05/06
    15 days Q1 = Q2 = 45 days

    I'm then going to calculate the percentages of resource. I can get the bt of the watch with a hack of a time to identify the first or the last day of a given quarter. Any help win my sincere admiration.

    Sorry, misread the question. The district will rely on the company that you work for. If the end of his is the same as an end of year calendar (31 December), then the example below will be accurate. Change the dates according to the needs of the company.
    You can hardcode the variables in your application.cfm page.
    quarter1start = "01 - jan -";
    quarter2start = '01 - apr -';
    quarter3start = "01 - jul -";
    quarter4start = '01 - oct -';

    Programatically, the end of each quarter is always the day before the start of the next quarter.
    I would add "year" to the equation dynamically, to keep in it before compatible.

  • Calculate the Date difference in the session variable

    I use the following to try to establish the number of difference in days between the dates of two different recordsets. The result using test data should be 15, but I get 0. No code error message, but no accurate result either. I checked the date two values involved, and they send the data appropriate to the right format... just can't get the DateDiff function to work in the session... variable all help greatly apprciated.

    Code:

    < % Session("Lead") = DateDiff ([d], [rsSurvey.Fields.Item("tblShipDat"). Value], [rsOrder.Fields.Item("tblValDat"). % of value]) >

    Thank you very much for any assistance... it was indeed the brackets surrounding table columns names that have crossed upwards. Correct solution:

    < %="">< br="">Session("Lead") = DateDiff ("d", rsSurvey.Fields.Item("tblShipDat"). Value,< br="" >="" rsorder.fields.item("tblvaldat").="" valeur)="">< br="" >="" %="">

  • How to calculate the date from sysdate


    I try to get 12/09/2009-12:51:30 by subtracting the current date to sysdate.

    As a result, 26 years old, 26 months, 91 days.


    And subtract years, MONTHS and DYS as format

    erase years, from 1 to 12 months and the days of the 1 to 30 as

    91 days = 30 x 3 + 1 = > 1 day over 3 months

    26 months + 3 months = 29 months = > 24 months + 5 months = 2 years + 5 months

    and 26 years + 2 years = 28

    desire to result: 28 years, 5 months and 1 day.

    Is there a function that give me this result from the query above?

    Hello Gordan,.

    I understand that you are the SUM of all the lines.

    Here are two ideas:

    -1 - using a date
    (a) SUM (TRUNC (sysdate) - dt)
    I would give you the total number of days.
    (b) adding the number of days to, for example, DATE ' 1900-01-01' would give another date...
    (c) simply subtract the years 1900 and it takes several years,
    subtract 1 from the month (1-12 from January to December) and you have the number of months
    subtract 1 from the day of the month (1-31) and you have the number of days.
    It is of course 'approximate' as the months do not have the same number of days...

    -2 - using only the number of days
    Maybe you want something else, for example: the total number of days divided by 365.25 for many years, the recall divided by 30 to get the number of months, the reminder being the number of days.

    (a) SUM (TRUNC (sysdate) - dt)

    I would give you the total number of days.

    (b) Division by 365.25 (le.25 is to take leap years into account, but you can choose for example "365")

    (c) number of reminder of days (total - years * 365.25): divided by 30 is the number of months

    (d) number reminder of days (total - years * 365.25 - months * 30): gives the number of days.

    The following two options with your test data (by chance, this gives the same result in this case)

    option 1:
    with (id, dt) t (select 1, to_date('02/06/2010','MM/DD/YYYY') of all the double union)
    Select 2, to_date('11/29/2001','MM/DD/YYYY') of all the double union
    Select 3, to_date('02/06/2011','MM/DD/YYYY') of all the double union
    Select option 4, double to_date('10/10/2011','MM/DD/YYYY')
    )

    (SELECT DATE ' 1900-01-01' + SUM (TRUNC (sysdate) - t.dt) FROM t trgt)

    Target_date TD

  • Calculate the interval in days

    Hi all!

    I need your help.

    I have an oracle sql table.

    This is going to...

    TABLENAME: RACE
    DATE NAME
    JANUARY 11, 12 JAMES
    JAMES JANUARY 12, 12
    JAMES JANUARY 14, 12
    JAMES JANUARY 17, 12
    JAMES 22 JANUARY 12

    1 FEBRUARY 12 JOHN
    FEBRUARY 11, 12 JOHN
    JOHN 13 FEBRUARY 12
    JOHN 14 FEBRUARY 12
    28 FEBRUARY 12 JOHN
    JOHN 1ST MARCH 12

    HOW can I calculate the date total interval (difference) for James and John in days?
    for example in this case total is 7 days for James (January 11, 12 to 12 January 12 is 0 days and 12 January 12 to January 14, 12 is 1 day and 14 January 12 to 17 January 12 is 2 days) and 24 days for John

    Data for the date will be random and can be up to names and dates of difference 60 so I would like to calculate all the names of different... Thank you!

    Is there anyway that I can query without listing all the date?

    Yes, just use the lower part of the "Real application" comment, that is:

    select max(dt)-min(dt)-count(*)+1 diff
    ,      nm
    from   race
    group by nm;
    

    I used the WITH only clause to generate some testdata...

  • Calculate the time period

    I want to calculate the date to end date of beginning period, but I have problem
    For example, my start date is 'August 21, 2011' and my End Date is "August 21, 2012".
    So I want to result as months of the year and days like this is "2 YEARS".
    I wrote this command from pl/sql, but I figured it
    "TWO YEARS AND SIX DAYS."
    Please tell me how to calculate this period
    I have enclosed my query

    ----------------- QUERY ----------------------
    Declare
    number of mtot_days;
    number of mdays;
    number of myears;
    number of mmonths;
    V_Month Varchar2 (10);
    V_Year Varchar2 (10);
    V_Days Varchar2 (10);
    Start
    break;
    mtot_days: days = (: from_date,: to_date);
    myears: = floor(mtot_days/365);
    mmonths: = floor(mtot_days/30);
    If mmonths = 12 then
    mmonths: = 0;
    end if;
    Mdays: = mod(mtot_days,30);
    If mmonths = 1 then
    V_Month: = "MONTHS";
    on the other
    V_Month: = "MONTHS";
    End If;

    If myears = 1 then
    V_Year: = "YEAR";
    on the other
    V_Year: = "YEARS";
    End If;
    If mdays = 1 then
    V_Days: = "DAY";
    on the other
    V_Days: = "DAYS";
    End If;

    If myears = 0 and mmonths! = 0 and mdays! = 0 then
    : period: = mmonths | ' ' || V_Month | «AND» | Mdays | ' ' || V_DAYS;
    ELSIF
    Mdays = 0 and mmonths! = 0 and myears! = 0 then
    : period: = myears | ' ' || V_Year | «AND» | mmonths | ' ' || V_Month;
    ELSIF
    mmonths = 0 and myears! = 0 and mdays! = 0 then
    : period: = myears | ' ' || V_Year | «AND» | Mdays | ' ' || V_Days;
    ELSIF
    myears = 0 and = 0 and mdays mmonths! = 0 then
    : period: = mdays | ' ' || V_Days;
    ELSIF
    Mdays = 0 and = 0 and myears mmonths! = 0 then
    : period: = myears | ' ' || V_Year;
    ELSIF
    Mdays = 0 and = 0 and mmonths myears! = 0 then
    : period: = mmonths | ' ' || V_Month;
    ELSIF
    Mdays! = 0 and myears! = 0 and mdays! = 0 then
    : period: = myears | » ' || V_Year | » ' || mmonths | » ' || V_Month | ' AND ' | Mdays | » ' || V_Days;
    on the other
    : period: not = "ANY TIME."
    End If;

    end;

    not every month has 30 days. Use ADD_MONTHS() instead:

    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
    
    DECLARE
       v_start DATE := TO_DATE('21-AUG-2011', 'DD-MON-RRRR');
       v_end DATE := TO_DATE('22-JUN-2014', 'DD-MON-RRRR');
       v_cnt_years NUMBER := 0;
       v_cnt_months NUMBER := 0;
       v_cnt_days NUMBER := 0;
       v_date DATE;
    BEGIN
       v_date := v_start;
    
       WHILE ADD_MONTHS(v_date, 1) <= v_end
       LOOP
           v_date := ADD_MONTHS(v_date, 1);
           v_cnt_months := v_cnt_months + 1;
           IF v_cnt_months = 12 THEN
              v_cnt_years := v_cnt_years + 1;
              v_cnt_months := 0;
           END IF;
       END LOOP;
       v_cnt_days := v_end - v_date;
       --
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(
           TO_CHAR(v_start, 'DD-MON-RRRR') || ' - ' ||
           TO_CHAR(v_end, 'DD-MON-RRRR') || ': ' ||
           v_cnt_years || ' Years, ' || v_cnt_months || ' Months, ' || v_cnt_days || ' Days');
    END;
    /
    

    outpupt vor several ranges:

    21-AUG-2011 - 20-AUG-2012: 0 Years, 11 Months, 30 Days
    
    21-AUG-2011 - 21-AUG-2012: 1 Years, 0 Months, 0 Days
    
    21-AUG-2011 - 22-AUG-2012: 1 Years, 0 Months, 1 Days
    
    21-AUG-2011 - 22-JUN-2014: 2 Years, 10 Months, 1 Days

  • Choose the date

    Hello

    I need to select all dates between two dates. This selection is plu query subquery, return of rows of data per day (month or year) between two dates.
    I use object and trunc (sysdate + rownum) for select dates.

    Is it posible to optimize this somehow? For example, use the stored procedure that generates all the dates between the two parameters. Please tell me how to do it.

    Thanks and greetings

    Hello

    CONNECTION BY and double is faster than ROWNUM and a large table.
    Try this:

    SELECT     p_from_date + LEVEL - 1
    FROM     (
              SELECT     DATE '2009-10-01'     AS p_from_date
              ,     DATE '2010-07-01'     AS p_to_date
              FROM     dual
         )
    CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 1 + p_to_date
                            - p_from_date
    

    If you build only a few hundred dates, then it would not significantly faster.

  • variable presentation changing the data type date to string the Calende

    Hi gurus,

    I'm having a strange problem. I have a Start date and end date fast that aren't on any column presentation for example (in the case where 1 = 0 DATE. DATE other cast ('2100-12-31 Date ') end).
    Now, this prompt, I put 2 startdate and enddate variables presentation to use in my sql filter in the report.i use these variable to calculate the date for these 2 end dates and then I apply between it function with these 2 dates.
    The question is when the dashboard is running for the first time the presentation variable takes the dates as the DATE "' 2009/14/10 and when I change the date and click on the go button, the variables is October 15, 2009" as strings anf so DATE in my SQL filter functions fails and error throughts VD.

    All of the suggestions!

    Nico explain already.

    Select date '' 2009-12-15 of the double - TRUE
    Select date of 2009 '-15-12' of the double - ORA-01843: not one month valid
    Select date ' 10/2009/15 ' of double - ORA-01861: literal does not match the format string

    DATE 'yyyy-mm-dd' does that have this format.
