Using sql to produce month , year

Question

The following code displays month and year but puts a space in between the month and comma.
for example
DECEMBER ,2006
JANUARY ,2006
How do I get rid of that space so that it displays like
DECEMBER,2006
JANUARY,2006
select TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_REPORT_DATE,'DD-MON-YY'),'MONTH') ||','|| TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_REPORT_DATE,'DD-MON-YY'),'YYYY')
from dual

Answer 1

try to wrap them with TRIM()
e.g.
SQL> -- without TRIM()
SQL> select TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2006','DD-MON-YY'),'MONTH') ||','||
  2         TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2006','DD-MON-YY'),'YYYY') as my_date
  3    from dual;
MY_DATE
JANUARY  ,2006
SQL> -- with TRIM()
SQL> select TRIM(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2006','DD-MON-YY'),'MONTH')) ||','||
  2         TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-JAN-2006','DD-MON-YY'),'YYYY') as my_date
  3    from dual;
MY_DATE
JANUARY,2006
SQL> your code would look something like:
select TRIM(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_REPORT_DATE,'DD-MON-YY'),'MONTH')) ||','||
       TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_REPORT_DATE,'DD-MON-YY'),'YYYY')
  from dual
