This is what I use to get the previous month.

SELECT TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE, -1), 'YYYY/MM') FROM dual;

Subject: Re: sql question

there is some confusion with the question. My question is how to always get the last month of the data? The job was set to run on 2010/1/15, then I need to get 2009/12 in the where clause.

Thanks again,

Joan
