LAST_DAY¶

Syntax¶

LAST_DAY( <date_or_time_expr> [ , <date_part> ] )

Usage Notes¶

• date_or_time_expr (Required) must be a date or timestamp expression.

• date_part (Optional) is the date part for which the last day is returned. Possible values are year, quarter, month, or week (or any of their supported variations). For details, see Supported Date and Time Parts.

  The default is month.

• When date_part is week (or any of its variations), the output is controlled by the WEEK_START session parameter. For more details, including examples, see Calendar Weeks and Weekdays.

• The return value is always a date, even if date_or_time_expr is a timestamp.
