CODE PA_WQ_IOD 23.05.2016 2016
any suggestion to get the expected results ?
start_date
is a DATE
I suppose. So max(start_date)
is a date, too.
Why then do you apply to_date
on it? Convert the date into a date? That makes no sense. You my want want to_char
instead
to_char(max(start_date),'YYYY') as max_start_date_yr
which would give you the year in a string. Or just use EXTRACT
to get the numeric year:
extract(year from max(start_date)) as max_start_date_yr
