How to use the BETWEEN Operator In SQL
One of the simplest and most common methods to select dates between two date ranges in PL/SQL is by using the BETWEEN operator in SQL queries. Here’s how you can do it:
DECLARE
v_start_date DATE := TO_DATE('2024-01-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
v_end_date DATE := TO_DATE('2024-01-31', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
BEGIN
FOR rec IN (
SELECT *
FROM sales_data
WHERE transaction_date BETWEEN v_start_date AND v_end_date
) LOOP
-- Process each record as needed
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Transaction Date: ' || rec.transaction_date || ', Product: ' || rec.product_name || ', Amount: ' || rec.amount);
END LOOP;
END;
Output:
Explanation: The PL/SQL block retrieves and processes records from the sales_data table where the transaction_date falls between ‘2024-01-01‘ and ‘2024-01-31‘. It prints transaction details using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE for each qualifying record.
