SQL SELECT Previous MMYY as varchar(4)

Question

Dearest genius StackOverflow friends,

I\'m in the need of creating a view that will always give me data in the WHERE clause for \"Period\" looking for the previous M

Answer 1

you can get what you want using

TO_CHAR(add_months(sysdate,-1), 'MMYY')

of course you can replace sysdate with timestamp, if necessary.
