Oracle SQL – Fiscal Year Dynamic Function

It is possible, though quite complicated, to write a pipelined table function that returns a variable structure. Your pipeline table function could take the two arguments and use the Oracle Data Cartridge interface and the magic of the AnyDataSet type to return a dynamic structure at runtime. You can then use that in subsequent SQL statements as if it was a table, i.e.

SELECT *
  FROM TABLE( your_pipelined_function( p_1, p_2 ));

A couple more references that discuss the same sample implementation

I'll do it in stages to make it easier to understand.

I put your data into a table called EX_DATA - added a primary key as I assume you'll have one and it makes things a little easier:

create table ex_data
(
  contract_id number(18),
  expire_dt date,
  term_notice number(18),
  notice_freq varchar(20),
  notice_months number
);


insert into ex_data values(1,TO_DATE('01-MAR-2005','DD-MON-YYYY'), 60, 'YEARLY', 12);

insert into ex_data values(2,TO_DATE('01-DEC-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'), 30, 'MONTHLY', 1);

insert into ex_data values(3,TO_DATE('28-FEB-2008','DD-MON-YYYY') ,30, 'YEARLY', 12);

The next expiry date from the first given date will be:

select add_months(expire_dt, notice_months) as next_expiry
from ex_data;

Then, it follows that the notice period is a bit of easy date arithmetic too:

select add_months(expire_dt, notice_months) as next_expiry, 
       add_months(expire_dt, notice_months) - term_notice as notice_date
from ex_data;

Using DUAL as a source, generate expiry dates for lots of years:

select expire_dt as first_expiry_date,
       l as expiry_num,
       add_months(expire_dt,l*notice_months) as all_expiry_dates
from ( select level l from dual connect by level < 100 ) l, ex_data
order by l; 

The next expiration date, and the date they should have been contacted for renegotiation:

select first_expiry_date, all_expiry_dates as next_expiry_date, all_expiry_dates - term_notice as renegotiation_date
from
(
select expire_dt as first_expiry_date, l as expiry_period_num, term_notice, add_months(expire_dt, l*notice_months) as all_expiry_dates
from ( select level l from dual connect by level < 100 ) l, ex_data
)
where all_expiry_dates >sysdate
and all_expiry_dates - term_notice < sysdate 
;

But, that's not what I think you're asking. You want the next renewal date where the contact period hasn't yet been hit, which can be done as follows:

select * from (
select contract_id, first_expiry_date, all_expiry_dates as next_expiry_date, all_expiry_dates - term_notice as notification_date, ROW_NUMBER( ) OVER (PARTITION BY
contract_id ORDER BY all_expiry_dates) r
from
(
select contract_id, expire_dt as first_expiry_date, l as expiry_period_num, term_notice, add_months(expire_dt, l*notice_months) as all_expiry_dates, notice_months
from ( select level l from dual connect by level < 100 ) l, ex_data
)
where all_expiry_dates - term_notice > sysdate 
)
where r=1;

Can probably be done with some simple SYSDATE maths along with the source data, but my brain is a little slow this evening ;)
