Question

I have to insert into a comment column in oracle with text that says

current year rate is set on sysdate

where current year needs to be inserted as 2012 and sysdate giving todays date.

I know how to get the current year from sysdate but I’m stuck in inserting the above text into my column. Please advice.

Answer 1

update the_table
   set the_comment = 'current year rate is set on '||to_char(sysdate, 'yyyy-mm-dd');
