I have employee table. Where I have a column joining_date. Now I am looking for a way to get all employee, who completed 5 years, 10 years current month. How to do so ? I am not able to figure this out.

Hi,

take a look at this example:

I've created a sample table:

create table users(id serial, joining_date date);

and filled it with sample data:

insert into users(joining_date) select now() - (j::text || 'days' )::interval from generate_series(1,10000) j;

Then the query showing up all users who complete 5 and 10 years this month can look like:

with u as (
  select id, date_trunc('month', age(now()::date, joining_date)) age
  from users
)
select *
from u
where u.age in ('5 years', '10 years');
