Re: SYSDATE query

Using ROUND would likely not work for you. TRUNC could give you the transactions from a calendar month -- is that what you want? For instance, if today is October 8th, do you want all of the transactions from October 1st through 8th?

If it's actually the transactions from September 8th through October 8th that you want, try a simple subtraction from SYSDATE:

WHERE cash_ledger_id = 'NAMS1001'
AND transaction_date >= SYSDATE - 31;
