How to get/show First Date of the Month ?

If you want to show or if you need the month first day, there is no built-in function in Oracle. But you can get it easily by using some other single-row date function. Here bellow an example of this.

SELECT LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1))+1
FROM DUAL;


Run the above sql and you will get the first day of current month. For last day of current month just use the LAST_DAY function like thisLAST_DAY(SYSDATE)

Need more help ? Just Leave you comments...

Cheers

  4. INSTEAD OF THIS WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE FOLLOWING
    SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE,'MONTH') FIRST_DAY,
    LAST_DAY(SYSDATE) END_DATE,
    SYSDATE CURRENT_DATE
    FROM DUAL;
