You alredy know how a LOOP works, may be if you research DATE functions something would pop up in your mind.

I am really tring... but...now i put 2007 value in a variable P and in query what should i use like

where to_char(date, YYYY)=p

will this do...
or what should i do...i am not getting any idea..
i know i cant use like because p is a variable with value that have to be matched...
Mmmm ... now i am really out of ideas...

Can't help you without doing your job and, I'm not doing your job.

This is a logic issue, not an Oracle issue.

You have to design the logic you are going to use to solve the problem, then you look at what tools Oracle offers you to implement your solution.

Think, research. If you can't come out with an idea google it.

Here is a hint:

Query your table where the year from the date column in the table is equal to input (2007).

SQL> select certificate_nbr,

20 to_char(EFFECTIVE_FROM_DATE , 'YY')='04' AND
21 to_char(EFFECTIVE_TO_DATE, 'yy')='04';

Error
to_char(EFFECTIVE_FROM_DATE , 'YY')='04' AND
*
ERROR at line 20:
ORA-01722: invalid number

all spelling are correct... to_char is correct..... date formate is correct.... bit why there is an error is the question...

though i tried it on other table in same way it worked
select to_char(effective_dte, 'mm-dd-yy'),
to_char(expiration_dte, 'mm-dd-yy'), org_id
from certificates
where to_char(effective_dte, 'yy')='04'

what can possible be wrong...??
