it without using a view: SELECT to_number(to_char(datein,'mm'),'99') as month,
to_number(to_char(datein,'yyyy'),'9999')as year, SUM(money) FROM ty_test WHERE datein BETWEEN
to_date('01/10/2002','mm/dd/yyyy')AND to_date('09/10/2002','mm/ddy/yyyy') ORDER BY
to_number(to_char(datein,'mm'),'99') to_number(to_char(datein,'yyyy'),'9999');
