Hi Ron,

Here it is

(INV.WORLD-SYSTEM)>select add_months(sysdate,-1) from dual;

ADD_MONTH

---

17-AUG-01 For conversions, etc. it's best to study the sql*plus doco.  In fact I had to visit this exact chapter this morning to refresh my memory of date formats and date functions.  I used to have a crib sheet i got in dba class that showed every single conversion format and sql*plus function (like add_months()) but I think I loaned it out and it never returned...

Can someone tell me how to subtract 1 month from the current date?  Also, where can I find answers and examples to this type of coding question?

Thanks!
