RE: Last day of the month unix

Not sure if you want this from sql or unix

but there is the last_day function

eg select last_day(sysdate) from dual

to get the last date

or

select to_char(last_day(sysdate),'dd') from dual

to get the day portion only.

Try this:

select trunc(add_months(sysdate,1),'MM')-1 from dual;
