How to use PL/SQL Functions In SQL
PL/SQL provides various date manipulation functions that can be utilized to select dates between two date ranges. For instance, you can use the ADD_MONTHS function to dynamically adjust the end date based on the start date. Here’s an example:
DECLARE
v_start_date DATE := TO_DATE('2024-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
v_end_date DATE;
BEGIN
v_end_date := ADD_MONTHS(v_start_date, 1) - 1; -- Set end date to last day of the month
FOR rec IN (
SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE date_column BETWEEN v_start_date AND v_end_date
) LOOP
-- Process each record as needed
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec.column_name);
Output:
Explanation: In this PL/SQL block, v_start_date is set to ‘2024-01-01‘, and v_end_date is calculated as the last day of the month following v_start_date. Records from your_table within this date range are retrieved, and the column_name of each record is printed 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.
