This explains how to find the number of months between two dates in oracle

There is a function by the name, "Months_Between" which is used to calculate the number of months between two dates.

Syntax : months_between(date1, date2)

Note: If the difference is not exactly in terms of months, a fractional month difference is shown

eg : SELECT months_between(to_date('2026/01/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd'), to_date('2026/03/14', 'yyyy/mm/dd')) FROM dual;

This gives -2.4193.. indicating a fractional difference
