---------------------------------------------NEXT_DAY(2014-06-10,'FRIDAY')
2014-06-13

SELECT NUMTODSINTERVAL(86405,'SECOND'), NUMTOYMINTERVAL(100, 'MONTH' );


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NUMTODSINTERVAL(86405,'SECOND')
NUMTOYMINTERVAL(100,'MONTH')
1 00:00:05.000000
8-04

SELECT TO_DSINTERVAL('150 08:30:00') , TO_YMINTERVAL( '2-11') ;


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TO_DSINTERVAL('150 08:30:00')
TO_YMINTERVAL('2-11')
150 08:30:00.000000
