Question

I have a strange Oracle query problem. Trouble is I’m an MS SQL developer really.

It’s a fair chunk of SQL, but when it ends with this:

WHERE     RLTEST.D550M.PERSON_REF = '00027280';

all works fine.

When it ends in this:

WHERE     RLTEST.D550M.PERSON_REF = '00027280'
AND       RLTEST.D580M.PROJECTED_END_DATE <= SYSDATE();

I get ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

and when it ends in this:

WHERE     RLTEST.D550M.PERSON_REF = '00027280'
AND       NVL(RLTEST.D580M.PROJECTED_END_DATE, SYSDATE()-1) <= SYSDATE();

I get ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

What do I need to do to add the date comparison?

Thanks…

You don’t need the extra brackets – remove the “()” from just after sysdate.
