    Change SYSDATE for session?

    Is it possible to change the sysdate of a particular session so that I can use the changed value of sysdate for my subsequent sql in that session.

    For example I want to do somthing like this.

    alter session set sysdate='4-APR-2004'

    and my sql in the session will use new value of sysdate.

    I know the above command will fail as alter session will only change the init.ora parameters.

    If there is any other way to acheive this please let me know!!

    alter system set fixed_date = '....' (whatever your nls_date_format is)

    this date then doesnt change ever so you need to unset it to resume normal operation

    It is perfectly working at system level but unfortunatley nopt working at session level.
    it throws this error given below.

    alter session set fixed_date='4-apr-2004';

    ORA-02096: specified initialization parameter is not modifiable with this option
