Add 2 months to current timestamp

Question

How can I add months to a timestamp value in Oracle? In my query, it\'s getting converted to date value instead:

     SELECT add_months(current_timestamp,2)          


        

Answer 1

SELECT current_timestamp + INTERVAL '2' MONTH from dual;

To display this in your desired format, use TO_CHAR:

SELECT TO_CHAR(current_timestamp + INTERVAL '2' MONTH, 
       'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF9TZH:TZM') from dual;
