Hi Mark,
I was only referring to the two syntax examples somewhere down this thread,
where the parens are forcing an illegal precedence (I copy and paste):
SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE-22)/86400 from dual;
SELECT (TRUNC(SYSDATE)-22)/86400 from dual;
Kind regards,
Lex.

Lex, I do not agree with your example. I understand your point but Oracle
has supported using + and - of a number or simple numeric expression as long
as I can remember:
UT1 > l
1 select to_char(trunc(sysdate),'YYYYMMDD HH24:MI:SS') as D1,
2 trunc(sysdate) - 22/86400 as D2
3* from dual
UT1 > /
D1 D2

Looks like Oracle handles it correctly. We have used this syntax from 6.36
to now, 9.2.0.4 on AIX 5.2. I think we need to see the real SQL and Oracle
error to know what problem Wes was encountering.

you get errors because you cannot divide a DATE by a NUMBER --
trunc(sysdate) returns a DATE, and a DATE minus a NUMBER returns a DATE
again.
so you can only do things like:
trunc(sysdate) - (22/86400)
Kind regards,
Lex.

Hello expert,
Thank you very much for all of your reply.
But in my case, the 1 is variable. I tried the following but it complains
that
SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE)-22/86400 from dual;
TRUNC(SYS
---------
02-AUG-04 <--- Wrong date.
SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE-22)/86400 from dual;
SELECT (TRUNC(SYSDATE)-22)/86400 from dual;
These two SQL statements gave the error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
If I try this one, it works.
SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE - 22), TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE-22+1),
'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
Is there any way to improve this lengthly statement?
Thanks,
Wes
