title: Month and day comparison in Oracle
body: <p>How do you compare month and day together in datetime operations in Oracle?</p>
  
  <p>Assume, currentdate as = 15 Aug 2014 (in datetime format).</p>
  
  <p>I have to compare currentdate (excluding year) with 2 different static dates excluding year, e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Filter as - 15/Aug between 01/Jul and 20/Dec.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think for the above to work we need to extract day and month together in datetime format. Please suggest answers. Thanks.</p>
