Hi Guy's
=A0

I've been asked a question, but haven't the time to check it, so I'm sorry if its simple. Is there a way of finding the difference in days between sysdate (today) and a point in time in the future (Christmas) through Oracle?
=A0

Don't ask me why, mine is just to do and die.. =

=A0

Thanks
