Re: collecting employees who completed 5 and 10 years in the current month

Hi Arup,

Two ways come to mind for me. They're pretty much the same as Szymon's,
just minus the sample table creation. I would suggest creating a view
instead, so you can just select from it whenever you please.

create view vw_employee as
select * from employees
where ((age(joining_date::date) like '5 years%') or
(age(joining_date::date) like '10 years%') )

or

create view vw_employee as
select * from employees
where
((to_char(joining_date, 'YYYY-MM') = to_char((now() - interval '5
years'), 'YYYY-MM') )
or
(to_char(joining_date, 'YYYY-MM') = to_char((now() - interval '10
years'), 'YYYY-MM')))

And then to check the employees who have completed 5 or 10 years, you'll
just do:

select * from vw_employee

This is done off the top of my head so there will likely be syntax errors,
but I hope this can give you a general idea.
