I would like to select 1
if current date falls between 2 dates through Oracle SQL.
I wrote an SQL after reading through other questions.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2369222/oracle-date-between-query
But it returned only null. sysdate
is the current date that is 01/05/2014
in date format DD/MM/YYYY
.
The SQL I wrote is:
select 1 from dual
WHERE to_date(sysdate,'DD/MM/YYYY')
BETWEEN TO_DATE('28/02/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
AND TO_DATE('20/06/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY');
and
select 1 from dual
WHERE to_date(sysdate,'DD/MM/YYYY') >= TO_DATE('28/02/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY')
AND to_date(sysdate,'DD/MM/YYYY') < TO_DATE('20/06/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY');
You don't need to apply to_date()
to sysdate
. It is already there:
select 1
from dual
WHERE sysdate BETWEEN TO_DATE('28/02/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') AND TO_DATE('20/06/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY');
If you are concerned about the time component on the date, then use trunc()
:
select 1
from dual
WHERE trunc(sysdate) BETWEEN TO_DATE('28/02/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY') AND
TO_DATE('20/06/2014', 'DD/MM/YYYY');
