Question

I have a database table containing credit card records. One of the fields is a Date field. I would like to update this field by changing the year portion of the date to 2011 if the year is less than 2010. From what i have found, PLSQL has functions for time and months but nothing to do with years (to my knowledge).

Answer 1

This shows how to

with cc as(
select to_date('12-jan-1999') as cdate from dual union all
select to_date('12-jan-1921') as cdate from dual union all
select to_date('12-jan-1900') as cdate from dual union all
select to_date('12-jan-2000') as cdate from dual union all
select to_date('12-jan-2010') as cdate from dual
)
select  to_date( to_char(cdate,'DD-MON')  ||'-2011','DD-MON-YYYY')
from cc
where cdate < to_date('01-JAN-2010','DD-MON-YYYY')
/
