How to use Comparison Operators In SQL
Another approach is to use comparison operators (>= and <=) in SQL queries to filter records based on their dates. Here’s how you can implement it:
DECLARE
v_start_date DATE := TO_DATE('2024-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
v_end_date DATE := TO_DATE('2024-01-31', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
BEGIN
FOR rec IN (
SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE date_column >= v_start_date AND date_column <= v_end_date
) LOOP
-- Process each record as needed
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec.column_name);
END LOOP;
END;
Output:
Explanation: The PL/SQL block retrieves records from your_table where the date_column falls within the range ‘2024-01-01‘ to ‘2024-01-31‘. For each qualifying record, it prints the value of the column_name using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE.
How to Select Dates Between Two Date Range in PL/SQL
In database management, PL/SQL (Procedural Language/Structured Query Language) stands out as a powerful tool for managing data within Oracle databases. When dealing with date-related queries, particularly selecting dates between two date ranges, PL/SQL offers robust functionality to streamline the process. In this article, we’ll explore how to efficiently select dates between two date ranges using PL/SQL.
