Hi Amit,

(a) although intriguing, your subject ("urgent") is not very descriptive, it would help to get your answer, if you use a better one.

(b) this seems like an SQL question to me, so actually your on the wrong node.

Okay, now for the answer:

From your example, I get that you need counts of the people in every group, is that correct? If so, then you can use a case when statement (I use hire_date in the example, since there is no birthdate in emp). I like inline queries a lot, as you can see, but if you like you can do it all in one query, reason I'm using subqueries is that you can try each step seperately:

SELECT COUNT(sub1.employee_id) numb_emp
      ,sub1.age_group
FROM   (SELECT sub.employee_id
              ,CASE
                 WHEN sub.age BETWEEN 1 AND 5 THEN
                  '1-5'
                 WHEN sub.age BETWEEN 6 AND 10 THEN
                  '6-10'
                 WHEN sub.age > 11 THEN
                  'over 10'
                 ELSE
                  'don''t know'
               END age_group
        FROM   (SELECT e.employee_id
                      ,trunc((months_between(SYSDATE
                                            ,e.hire_date)) / 12) age
                FROM   employees e) sub) sub1
GROUP  BY sub1.age_group

Sabine
