    Date Spread across 2 years? - How to ??

    Hi,

    I need to populate a date column for a demo. Table has 100K rows. New column is 'LAST_PURCHASE_DATE'.

    I need to update the column with date from sysdate to sysdate - 2years.

    I'll be looking to code this earlier this morning, but would appreciate any pearls of wisdom.

    Thanks.

    Horace.

    How about
    UPDATE my_table
    SET dateColumn = SYSDATE - MOD(ROWNUM, 730);

    Thanks for the input DaPi.

    I must be getting better at this coding lark, 'cos that's exactly what I came up with.

    Ta.
