select trunc(months_between(To_date('20120325', 'YYYYMMDD'),to_date('20120101','YYYYMMDD'))) months,
             round(To_date('20120325', 'YYYYMMDD')-add_months(to_date('20120101','YYYYMMDD'),
                           trunc(months_between(To_date('20120325', 'YYYYMMDD'),to_date('20120101','YYYYMMDD'))))) days
