 Title: QUERY TO EXTRACT DATE IN A RANGE

 Hello Everyone,

I need some advise on the following query:

select decode( Th.Reference_from_account_id,
'9999999999999999', Th.Transaction_amount * -1,
Th.Transaction_amount
) as Amount,
Th.Post_date, Th.Transaction_class, Th.Transaction_type,
Tt.Transaction_class_desc, Tt.Transaction_type_desc,
decode( Th.Reference_from_account_id,
'9999999999999999', Th.From_account_balance,
Th.To_account_balance
) as Balance,
Th.Transaction_date, Th.Reference_to_memo
from Trans_hist Th, Trans_type Tt
where ( '9999999999999999' in
( Th.Reference_from_account_id, Th.Reference_to_account_id )
)
and Th.Transaction_class != 'W'
and ( ( Th.Transaction_class != 'D'
and Th.Transaction_type != 'T'
and trunc(Th.Post_date) = to_date('05-JUN-07','DD-MON-YY')
) --lower range
or ( Th.Transaction_class = 'D'
and Th.Transaction_type = 'T'
and trunc(Th.Post_date) = to_date('06-JUN-07','DD-MON-YY')
) --upper range
)
and Th.Transaction_type = Tt.Transaction_type
and Th.Transaction_class = Tt.Transaction_class
order by Post_date desc

The above query works for that range. However, if I try to change the date param to say:

lower range (01-jun-07)
upper range(04-jun-07)

I don't get the desired result. The idea is to produce data on business days only such such:

1. Between June 1 and June 4
2. Between June 4 and June 5
3. Between June 5 and June 6
4. Between June 6 and June 7 and so on.

I've tried several permutations but I could not get the desired result. The post_date field contains date and time.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Randy
