SQL> run
1 select sysdate-hiredate, current_timestamp-hiredate from emp where deptno = 10

SYSDATE-HIREDATECURRENT_TIMESTAMP-HIREDATE
-----------------------------------------

701566.576 701566 13:49:41
701727.576 701727 13:49:41
701499.576 701499 13:49:41
the result of sysdate-hiredate = No.of days.No.of seconds
the result of current_timestamp-hiredate = No.of days hh:mi:ss. just as answer time format hh:mi:ss. I want that answer of No.of days is must be yy-mm-dd as it is hh:mi:ss, not in Number of days,
I want that result must be come in yy-mm-dd.hh:mi:ss

  2             mod(trunc(months_between(sysdate,hiredate)),12) ||'-'||
  3     trunc(sysdate-add_months(hiredate,months_between(sysdate,hiredate)))
  4     as difference_as_yymmdd

It doesn't make sense to express a big number of days as years, months, days. A month is not 1year/12 and sometimes a year = 366 days.
