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

    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.

    Cool

    Here is a hint:

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

    Can anyone say me whats wrong with this QUERY

    SQL> select certificate_nbr,
    2 part171,
    3 inactive_ind,
    4 hts_cde,
    5 originating_ind,
    6 iso_country_cde,
    7 basis_cde,
    8 producer_cde,
    9 cert_cde,
    10 regional_value_content_cde,
    11 part_nbr,
    12 effective_date,
    13 effective_from_date,
    14 effective_to_date,
    15 transaction_date
    16 from SAP_CERTIFICATES_EXTRACT_VIEW
    17 where org_id= '0048' AND
    18 customer_nbr_base= '00000065' AND
    19 customer_nbr_sufx = '11' AND
    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...??
