TIMESTAMPs and INTERVALs (Score:2)

by jdavidb (1361) on 2007.03.31 10:54 (#54097) Homepage Journal

With most recent versions of Oracle, you can use the ANSI-SQL standard TIMESTAMP date types and associated functions, which will give you INTERVAL data types when you subtract, and those can be fairly intelligently converted to years. I haven't gotten to use these as much as I like, but so far they have been very nice.
