The following database view rounds the date back to the closest fiscal year (April 1st):
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW FISCAL_YEAR_VW AS
SELECT
CASE
WHEN to_number(to_char( SYSDATE, 'MM' )) < 4 THEN
to_date('1-APR-'||to_char(add_months(SYSDATE, -12), 'YYYY'), 'dd-MON-yyyy')
ELSE
to_date('1-APR-'||to_char(SYSDATE, 'YYYY'), 'dd-MON-yyyy')
END AS fiscal_year
FROM
dual;
This allows us to calculate the current fiscal year based on today's date.
How can this calculation be simplified or optimized?
