I tried it as well, both in sql plus and TOAD. SQL*plus gives just one row, toad 25. I guess there is some setting to be done that determines the max for the LEVEL. Haven't had time to look for that setting yet.

SQL> SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE,'YEAR') + LEVEL - 1 2 FROM DUAL 3 CONNECT BY 1 = 1 4 AND LEVEL < TRUNC(SYSDATE+366,'YEAR') - TRUNC(SYSDATE,'YEAR') + 1; TRUNC(SYS --------- 01-JAN-05 1 row selected. I'm obvisously missing something. What's with the 1=1? 1 SELECT TRUNC(SYSDATE,'YEAR') + LEVEL - 1 2 FROM DUAL 3 CONNECT BY 4 --1 = 1 AND 5* LEVEL < TRUNC(SYSDATE+366,'YEAR') - TRUNC(SYSDATE,'YEAR') + 1 SQL> / TRUNC(SYS --------- 01-JAN-05 1 row selected. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
