How to find the first date of a month from a given datetime dataset (in SQL Oracle)?










2















Does any in-built function exists for that please?



I've created this one;



to_char( add_months( ( last_day( sysdate ) + 1 ), -1 ), 'dd/mm/yyyy' )



Thanks in advance. Chri$

          You can use TRUNC() with a date format argument:



          select trunc(sysdate, 'MON') from dual
