Ron,

The only problem you might have here is in defining what is a 'month.' Is it 30 days, 31 days, 28 days or 29 days? Other wise it's quite simple -

Select (sysdate - 30) from dual; <== parentheses are not necessary, I tend to include them for clarity.

Can someone tell me how to subtract 1 month from the current date? Also, where can I find answers and examples to this type of coding question?

Thanks!
