Above query fetches 20 records with until_date in the year 2005.But when I change the condition in the case (WHEN TRUNC(utrasup_effective_to_date) >= '31-DEC-2010' ) of until_date to TRUNC(utrasup_effective_to_date) > '31-DEC-2010' then I get 23 records with until_date in the year 2005.
The change in condition should only affect the dates of 2010 year but why the 2005 year dates are getting affected?
These are the 3 records which are getting affected :
A,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,0
B,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,6
Z,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,0
Can any one help.

Thanks for your reply michel.

The condition where the problem is occuring is :
WHEN TRUNC(utrasup_effective_to_date) >= '31-DEC-2010' then                                                             
                        to_char(to_date('31-DEC-2099','DD-MON-YYYY'), 'DD/MM/YYYY')  
                   ELSE        
                        to_char(TRUNC(utrbase_effective_to_date),'DD/MM/YYYY')        
              END AS until_date,


utrasup_effective_to_date is of type date in utrasup table.In the condition only the date is compared and based on the condition the value of until_date is set.Also the until_date value in the 3 records is 25/08/2005.Please help.

You are comparing utrasup_effective_to_date with string '31-DEC-2010'. So it is implicitely converted to string and compared using string comparison rules, where e.g. '31-DEC-2010' < '31-JAN-2008' (as 'D' < 'J').

Just to summarize it:
'01-JAN-2005' is not date.
to_date( '01-JAN-2005', 'DD-MON-YYYY' ) is date.

I changed the condition as below :
WHEN TRUNC(utrasup_effective_to_date) >= to_date('31-DEC-2010','DD-MON-YYYY') then                                                             
                        to_char(to_date('31-DEC-2099','DD-MON-YYYY'), 'DD/MM/YYYY')  
                   ELSE        
                        to_char(TRUNC(utrbase_effective_to_date),'DD/MM/YYYY')        
              END AS until_date


and checked the record count for until_date (with dates in year 2005) ,it comes to be 23.

When i changed the condition as below:
WHEN TRUNC(utrasup_effective_to_date) > to_date('31-DEC-2010','DD-MON-YYYY') then                                                             
                        to_char(to_date('31-DEC-2099','DD-MON-YYYY'), 'DD/MM/YYYY')  
                   ELSE        
                        to_char(TRUNC(utrbase_effective_to_date),'DD/MM/YYYY')        
              END AS until_date

and checked the record count for until_date (with dates in year 2005), it comes to be 20.

The following records are getting converted as 31-DEC-2099 :
A,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,0
B,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,6
Z,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,0

which should not happen.I hope,now the comparison is date based.

You have other DATEs represented as strings all throughout this query. Please remedy first.

Even then the same problem persists.

You still compare dates to strings:
       AND    trunc(utrbase_effective_to_date) > '01-JAN-2005'        
       AND    utrbase_price_method_ren = '02'            
       AND    trunc(utrasup_effective_to_date) > '01-JAN-2005'    


And what's the use of this?
to_char(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2005','DD-MON-YYYY'),'DD/MM/YYYY')

Why not use '01/01/2005' ?

Or is the 01-JAN-2005 not so hard-coded as you show us here, and is the query not the actual beast you are executing?

I changed the query as below:
SELECT

I still face the same problem.

The query that i posted here is the actual query that iam executing.01-JAN-2005 date was hard coded as given by me here...but i changed it to 01/01/2005 in order to incorporate your suggestion.

The following records are getting converted as 31-DEC-2099 :
A,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,0
B,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,6
Z,3SLT,CHB,01/01/2005,25/08/2005,GCN,0

which should not happen.I hope,now the comparison is date based.



Unfortunately, you did not tell us (at least, I could not find it) which column is which.
If the first column that contains something similar to a date (i.e. '01/01/2005') is your utrasup_effective_from_date column, then it is correct that it falls through the CASE. After all, the date 01-01-2005 equals 01-01-2005, so it is NOT <
