This is wrong:
SQL> declare

  3  begin
  4  dbms_output.put_line('Your age is 
  5  '||(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')-to_char(birthdate,'yyyy'))||' years 
  6  '||(to_char(sysdate,'MM')-to_char(birthdate,'MM'))||' months
  7  '||(to_char(sysdate,'DD')-to_char(birthdate,'DD'))||' days');
  8  end;
  9  /
'||(to_char(sysdate,'MM')-to_char(birthdate,'MM'))||' months
                 *
ERROR at line 6:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
ORA-06512: at line 2

SQL> declare
  2  birthdate date := to_date('13/11/1956','DD/MM/YYYY');
  3  begin
  4  dbms_output.put_line('Your age is 
  5  '||(to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')-to_char(birthdate,'yyyy'))||' years 
  6  '||(to_char(sysdate,'MM')-to_char(birthdate,'MM'))||' months
  7  '||(to_char(sysdate,'DD')-to_char(birthdate,'DD'))||' days');
  8  end;
  9  /
Your age is
52 years
-10 months
11 days

My age is 52 years minus 10 months!

hi misragopal ,

Dont you think , use of MOD is more simple than using the complex query as in the link ?

Michel,

I think , need to use ADD_MONTHS Function to get the exact days .

select trunc(months_between(to_date('01/06/2003','MM/DD/YYYY'),
to_date('10/15/1992','MM/DD/YYYY'))/12)
||' years '||
mod(trunc(months_between(to_date('01/06/2003','MM/DD/YYYY'),
to_date('10/15/1992','MM/DD/YYYY'))),12)
||' months '||
trunc(to_date('01/06/2003','MM/DD/YYYY') -
add_months(to_date('10/15/1992','MM/DD/YYYY'),
months_between(to_date('01/06/2003','MM/DD/YYYY'),
to_date('10/15/1992','MM/DD/YYYY'))))

I didn't say it is bad in the meaning of wrong. I meant it was a pity he didn't find it by himself, it would be preferable he found it by himself... do you see my point?

what about this ?
declare
birthdate date :='30-dec-1979';
dd number;
mm number;
yyyy number;
begin
select (to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')-to_char(birthdate,'yyyy')) into yyyy from  dual;
select (to_char(sysdate,'MM')-to_char(birthdate,'MM')) into mm from dual;
select (to_char(sysdate,'DD')-to_char(birthdate,'DD')) into dd from dual;
if dd<0
then dd :=dd+30;
mm :=mm-1;
end if;
if mm<0
then mm :=mm+12;
yyyy :=yyyy-1;
end if;
dbms_output.put_line('Your age is
'||yyyy||' years
'||MM||' months
'||DD||' days');
end;

Your age is
28 years
0 months
25 days

1/ Don't use PL/SQL when you can only use SQL
2/ Don't call SQL in PL/SQL when you can do it without SQL

I don't entirely agree with your points here Michel.
I think the very first one can also be 'Do it in pl/sql when you don't need any sql'
It more or less depends on where one will need the functionality: when called from a sql-query you should code it in SQL. When called from pl/sql, use pl/sql.

Now your code assumes every month has the same number of days.
Use built-in functions. They account for leap-years, etc.
