Date Manipulation in Oracle SQl
Please help ......why doesn't the following SQL doesn't return any rows. (column1 is a 'date' datatype)

select * from table1
where to_char(column1, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = to_char(sysdate + 3 , 'dd-mon-yyyy')


Thanks

Why are you converting to character anyway?
Why not just compare the dates?

TRUNC() is probably better here than TO_CHAR(). Try this:

Code:
select * from table1 
where TRUNC(column1) = TRUNC(sysdate) + 3
