Hi,

I am facing problem when I want to extract specific date depending upon the input.Suppose i have input date is
'4-mar-2008'.As it falls between 1 and 10 march I need my output as '1-mar-2008' and '10-march-2008'.If it is '15-mar-2008',then output dates will be '11-mar-2008' and '20-mar-2008'.and if the input date falls between 21 and 31 st march then I need 21-march and 31st march '2008 as my output.

please help.

Crude but effective approach:
create table date_Test  (col_1 date);

insert into date_test values (to_Date('4-Mar-2008','dd-mon-yyyy'));
insert into date_test values (to_Date('11-Mar-2008','dd-mon-yyyy'));
insert into date_test values (to_Date('15-Mar-2008','dd-mon-yyyy'));
insert into date_test values (to_Date('20-Mar-2008','dd-mon-yyyy'));
insert into date_test values (to_Date('25-Mar-2008','dd-mon-yyyy'));
insert into date_test values (to_Date('31-Mar-2008','dd-mon-yyyy'));


select col_1
      ,to_date(start_day||rest_of_date,'dd Mon yyyy') start_date
      ,to_date(end_day  ||rest_of_date,'dd Mon yyyy') end_date
from  (select col_1,
              case when to_char(col_1,'dd') between 1 and 10 then 1
                   when to_char(col_1,'dd') between 11 and 20 then 11
                   else 21 end start_day,
              case when to_char(col_1,'dd') between 1 and 10 then 10
                   when to_char(col_1,'dd') between 11 and 20 then 20
                   else to_number(to_char(last_day(col_1),'dd')) end end_day,
              to_char(col_1,' Mon yyyy') rest_of_date
       from date_Test);

COL_1     START_DAT END_DATE
--------- --------- ---------
04-MAR-08 01-MAR-08 10-MAR-08
11-MAR-08 11-MAR-08 20-MAR-08
15-MAR-08 11-MAR-08 20-MAR-08
20-MAR-08 11-MAR-08 20-MAR-08
25-MAR-08 21-MAR-08 31-MAR-08
31-MAR-08 21-MAR-08 31-MAR-08
