You need to calculate the number of days from 1st Jan 2007 till date:
Dates are stored in the default format of dd-mm-rr.
Which two SQL statements would give the required output? (Choose two.)
A.
SELECT SYSDATE – TO_DATE(’01/JANUARY/2007′) FROM DUAL;
B.
SELECT TO_DATE(SYSDATE,’DD/MONTH/YYYY’)-’01/JANUARY/2007′ FROM DUAL;
C.
SELECT SYSDATE – TO_DATE(’01-JANUARY-2007′) FROM DUAL
D.
SELECT SYSDATE – ’01-JAN-2007′ FROM DUAL
E.
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,’DD-MON-YYYY’)-’01-JAN-2007′ FROM DUAL;
Can someone explain this?
OPtion A:
SELECT SYSDATE – TO_DATE(’01/JANUARY/2007′) FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE-TO_DATE(’01/JANUARY/2007′)
