Hi,

I'm looking for a function to add or subtract days to a given date (usually sysdate), and have the new date returned:

add 1000 days to sysdate is: ???? <in date format> add -545 days to sysdate is: ???? <in date format>

in Transact SQL there is a date_add function, which allows to add integer values to each specified datepart, Oracle unfortunately hasn't.

the add_months function doesn't fullfil the requirements

Every help appreciated !

Thx

Klaus Kloeser
