How to get the difference in years from sysdate

Question

Hi all,
I want to display years from 2005 to sysdate. I have tried this, but it is giving same SYSDATEs year 6 times.
SELECT  EXTRACT(YEAR FROM SYSDATE + LEVEL -1) FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL < TRUNC(MONTHS_BETWEEN (SYSDATE,TO_DATE('2005','YYYY'))/12)
Thanks in advance,
Pal

Hi dude,
Try this code
DECLARE
   from_dt   DATE          := TO_DATE ('01/01/2009', 'mm/dd/yyyy');
   to_dt     DATE
      := TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'mm/dd/yyyy') /*'01/01/2010'*/,
                  'mm/dd/yyyy'
   x         VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
   WHILE NOT from_dt > to_dt
   LOOP
      IF TO_DATE (x, 'dd-mon-yyyy') >= to_dt
      THEN
         DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('hello');
         EXIT;
      ELSE
         DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('FROM DATE ==>' || from_dt);
         x := from_dt + 1;
         IF TO_DATE (x, 'DD-MON-YYYY') > to_dt
         THEN
            DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Exit Now');
         ELSE
            DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Sundays -->' || x);
         END IF;
      END IF;
      from_dt := from_dt + 1;
   END LOOP;
END;Regards,
