Finding Records 60 days back from sysdate [message #454]

Hi,

I have a simple question. I need to select records
that are within 60 days back from the sysdate. So basically
a select statement:

Select partnum from part_table
where to_date >= sysdate - 60 days

How do I write the where clause?

without "days" your statement will work correctly:

Select partnum from part_table
where to_date >= sysdate - 60

Select partnum from part_table
where trunc(to_date('column_name', 'Format')) >= trunc(sysdate - 60 )

Is a safer option in that the time will be ignored.
